Tolkien's T.C.B.S discussion

The Black Speech is spoken in the land of Mordor, created by evil (Sauron) and replacing many Orkish languages.

There are 2 forms of the black speech. (1) Pure forms used by Sauron himself and the Nazgûl, and the Olog-hai, and (2) the more "debased" form used by the soldiery of the Barad-dûr at the end of the Third Age.

Fun fact: Black Speech didn't have the "E" sound in it because to make that sound, you had to smile ;-)

*Laughs* good one!

Also, it was a sound the Elves used so much.
