Also black speech. It is a bit like Elvish in ways. But I wish there was more information on it.

Rohirric because of the sound of it, like old English.... it just echoes of past times with warriors and noble ladys!!! :angel:
Also, I like that there's more information on it than let's say the Black Speech!

It was a close race between Hobbiton...ish and Black speech, but black speech won because of my love/obsession with the Nazgul...Hobbiton...ish is like Cockney! AND THAT ROCKS!!!!

Yes the Rohirrim are a very Viking-like people... one of the main reasons I love them so much!

I didn't vote because I don't know the languages pretty well - elvish is the LotR language that I'm most familiar with. How ashamed I should be! :blush:

Anyway, I tried studying Elvish but it's so much to study!

:bye2:

Rohirric :) Although I think it's just a slightly modified version of Old English.

Black Speech. There's nothing like saying "Ash nazg durbatulûk, ash nazg gimbatul, ash nazg thrakatulûk agh burzum-ishi krimpatul"

I voted for Rohirric because it's in reality Old English and I LOVE Old English. :)
