Orcs conversing in Black Speech/Broken Britannian
Broken Britannian is a form of speech used typically by non-human races played by roleplayers, for example Orcs. Its most notable use was by the Orcs of Tolagâl. The Severed Heads Clan spoke something similiar, though while it was actually mostly bastardized English, it was usually simply called 'Orcish'. Broken Britannian basically included breaking up the English language into more simple-sounding words that required players to actually read and often speak the word aloud to understand what the speaker was saying. Some players were put off by 'learning a new language' simply for the purposes of roleplaying and assumed it was difficult to learn.
