Black Speech
Black Speech is the language of Mordor, invented by Sauron – therefore an artificial language inside the very world created by Tolkien. The Dark Lord wished to make it the language of all his servants but he failed, since the Orcs never achieved more than introducing many of its words in their numerous jargons.
