The Black Speech (First Article)

Everyone who's had contact with Tolkein's Black Speech (and are not Elvish fans) have tried their hand at providing a reconstruction of the ancient tongue. Only the ring inscription and some place-names are left to use as examples of Black Speech. Some include the one that was posted on the LandofShadow website... there was also the slightly expanded version used in the movie. I, however, chose a different approach; I used a reverse-engineering process to derive words in Black Speech as if it were a lost, Indo-European language. This inspiration came from the black metal musician and paganist writer Varg Vikernes of Norway, who claimed that Tolkein had used Old Norse and the Indo-European language of the ancient Viking Berserkers to create what was called the Black Speech of Mordor, offering up evidence such as the Viking-like nature of the Orcs and that the word "Orc" itself was derived from an old Norse word.

What I got was the following: a short compendium of roots I derived from Proto-Indo-European, specifically the Germanic division as Vikernes had said, and applied the sound change rules that had occured between the samples of Black Speech and the original P.I.E. roots.
