Alright ya gitz listen up, I'z seen a few of ya tryin' ta put on an Ork voice but it ain't foolin' nobody.

So 'ere's a guide on 'ow ta talk like a propa ork.

Missing Letters

First fing's fisrt, ork don't 'ave time ta pronounce all da letters of a word so some get left out.

The 'h' in all words can be replaced with '
For example:
House -> 'ouse
Has -> 'as

Some other letter which can be replaced with ' are G's at the end of 'ing' but only if the word doesn't always have ing on the end (like thing)
For example:

Looting -> Lootin'
Fighting -> Fightin'

Now ya can't just go cuttin' out any letta ya feel like, I 'ave seen words like 'really' shortened to 'eally which is just wrong.

Changing letters

As mentioned before orks don't 'ave time ta pronounce fings propa so sometimes easier syllables are used.

Orks don't like pronouncing 'Th' so will replce it with either 'D' or 'F'

If a words begins Th depending of what the next letter is,
If the word has a 'the' sound den da "Th" are replaced wiv a D
For example:
That -> Dat
This -> Dis
(be carful of 'The' and 'Those' as The goes to Da not De and those would go to Dose which is a whole uvva word)
If the word begins with "I" or "R" then the "Th" are replaced with "f"
For example:
Think -> Fink
Threw -> Frew

The "Th" at the end of a word can be changed to "f" unless there's an I in front, where it is changed to a "v"
For example:
Cloth -> Clof (two f's can be use to make more visually appealing, Cloff)
With -> Wiv

The "er" at the end of a word can be changed for "a"
This is seen already with:
Slugger -> Slugga
Chopper -> Choppa

Lastly if any section of a word sounds like a single letter it can be replaced with that letter
For Exmple:
Should -> Shud

Extra fings ork's say you shud know

Here iz some extra things you shud know...

Replace God with Gork (or Mork)
God knows! -> Gork (or Mork) Know!

The only swear (curse, whatever) words Ork's use are Fuck replaced to Zog and git as a general greeting/insult.
"Hey, mate!" -> "oi oi, git!"
"fuck off!" -> "Zog off!"

Hello is changed to oi or oi oi. Oi or more of a 'hey!' or hey, you! where as oi oi is more of a "hey, what's up"

S's are often changed to z's
Is -> Iz

Ork's love Double negatives, such as:
"I ain't got nuffin'"

The ork currency is teef though they will trade weapons or various other orky items

Orks count to 'Lots'
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, Lots (anything after 5 just isn't worth thinking about)

Orks eat squig bases foods or their enemies and drink fungus beer.

So there you have it, a short guide to help you talk like a propa Ork.

Oh...and one last fing...

WAAAGH!

Well, actually...

According to the novel "Angel Exterminatus", the Ork-language sounds to humans like a series of barks, grunts and snarls.
