The Orcs are not stupid nor are they usually complex.  Their language exemplifies this using an economy of words but then body language to give further meaning.  Also the context of the setting or circumstance can give a word a different slant or meaning. They do not write books and so need fewer words to enable them pass on information using a spoken tradition

    Orcs are social mimics and borrow from other cultures and races.  So if they do not have a specific concept to use in their own language they will borrow from others.  Unfortunately the diphthongs and accents needed for Elven and Dwarven are difficult for the Orc to master and so few of these languages  words are ever used in the Orcish language.  Goblinese is borrowed from heavily but the tongues of the Humans and Gnomes are borrowed form also.

    When the Orcan language fails to be detailed enough, words from other languages are inserted and over time they become part of the language as the need is shared throughout the Orcan areas.
