Ring Talking Orks ?

I wonder if in TTT (the scene when the Orks have Merry and Pippin hostage on the field of Rohan) the orks actually talk to each other? in their own language?

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> To Pippin's surprise he found that much of the talk was intelligible; many of the Orcs were using ordinary language. Apparently the members of two or three quite different tribes were present, and they could not understand one another's orc-speech. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>The Two Towers, Book 3, Chapter 3 "The Uruk-hai".

Ah, I was about to post that, Diamond18 I just read that chapter yesterday (I know, I'm slow...LOL *reads furiously) The Orks will probably be from the same tribe, the Isengarders, so people won't be confused. I know I was rather confused in that part of the book!

But what about:<BR> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>'Don't draw attention to yourself, or I may forget my orders. Curse the Isengarders!

I didn't think much of Lurtz's cries of "Find the Halfling!" in FotR so I'm hoping the Orcs sound better in TTT.<BR>When he snarled "Saruman!" it sounded cool but his voice at the end was off.<BR>Whatever happens I'm sure Grishnakh will have an awesome voice.
