Orky Language - The Basics

The most important thing to remember here, is that Orks were specifically based on British footballhooligans, in both language, often brain capacity and in some extreme cases, maybe even body shape. This verbally defines the unusual pronounciation and broken sentence structuring you have come to expect from an Ork. Simultaneously, the written form of these words are therefore also directly affected by these differences. As a result, words willbe spelled phoneticallybased on these guttural changes. Visually words may become harder to recognise or decipher to non-native speakers.The next thing to clear up is that there are no hard and fast rules which will apply to each and every situation. With the English language being the way it is, there are going to besitutations where words whichthe same or are at leastsimilarly will be handleddifferently. Sometimes this can be based purely on something as simple as context and as a result, some words you might want to make sound more Orky can and will fall into two or more categories simultaneously. This is likely to make them behave strangley or unexpectedly because multiple rules may end up contradicting or overwriting each other.What all this means is that a lot of this guide may actually be open to interpretation or debate, but sometimes all it really takes is just a bit of common sense to figure out whether something sounds stupid when you read it out loud. Unfortunately for you, this is when your common sense is required to figure out what actually sounds right, and no hand holding can be provided. But hey, that's fine, you're a big tough Ork, right?If your edited wordsOrky when read aloud then it is probably passable or acceptable, verbally at least, and that may be all that is required if you are purely dealing with voice comms.For the written format there will always be conflicts and disagreements, but like I say, there are no set rules for this, so nobody isgoing to be, despite what they may claim to the contrary.In all truth, what we're dealing with here is essentially a "made up" or "dumbed down" version of the English language, almost a pidgen version of it, so we only have our original version to use as the basic guideline we can work from.From here on in, I'll attempt to provide some simple guidelines you can follow which should hopefully help you to sound more Orky.OK, so, if I haven't scared you off or bored you to death already, shall we begin...?
