    Being from the UK both normal and cockney English is familiar to me, though when speaking Ork I tend to just make spellings up as I go.

    Oi you gits.Ork speech is the best possible speech to use for waging war!The gits who cant comprehend it aren't real greenskin!They must be sneaky little humans.You see them, you smash them!

    Orks never got the good book learnings mainly because they would shove the books down the teachers throats and laugh about how funny they look with a book stuck in their throat.All around great bunch :D

    I'm from Finland so english isn't my native language. However, I see it quite fun and not even so difficult to speak/understand! :) Some dude told a good joke about orks choosing their path in the community in the orky language. It was hilarious! :D

    It's a phonetic language if you ask me. Long as you's gitz sound out da bigga wordz for da slow boyz skulkin' about in da back. Not a whole lot of great Ork writers out there to disprove you. Oh and replace 'bloke', 'guv' and 'mate' with 'git', 'nob' and 'lad'. I do wish Orks used the word wanker though :(

    No they don't use wanker but they use the word nob as a status symbol and that is far more hilarious. A pack of nobs, go figure that one out.

    For me as a german its surprisingly easy to understand. you really just have to read it like its written und imagine listening to a drunk penguine choking on fish.

    not any more difficult than listining to bavarian german or that horrible abomination of the language of poets and philosophers they use in switzerland.

    i like orks and all who can speak ork.

    It isn`t that hard to read it. It much more hard to write in ork language.
