Orcish refers to the language spoken by orcs, a fictional race commonly found in fantasy literature and games. It is often depicted as a guttural and harsh-sounding language, reflecting the warrior culture of orc societies. The vocabulary typically includes terms related to battle, survival, and tribal life. In many fantasy settings, such as Dungeons & Dragons and The Lord of the Rings, Orcish serves as a means of communication among orcs and sometimes with other races. It can vary in complexity, with some interpretations including a written form, while others focus solely on spoken communication.
