Do you think the text bequethed to Robert Page (Page 32 PoaD:DS) has
resulted in an orkish language?

Well, speaking as an ED and and SR guy, I'll say this; there has been a
written and spoken Ork language. But no, I don't think anyone has revealed
it yet, considering the fact that the only people alive who would know about
it would be a few Dragons and a few Elves.

However, I can certainly see certain elements of the Ork community wanting
very badly to find this tongue, which would be proof of their racial
uniqueness and "special"-ness. They'd like that; they've gotten shit on a
lot over the years, all things considered.

And the often-overlooked part of Dunk's bequest, the footnote on the text
suggesting the orks rename the Ork Underground Cara Fahd!

And, and, Dunkelzahn is really Great Cthulhu! Ia! Ia!
