JRR Tolkien invented many languages for his epic novel, The Lord of the Rings. Many of these languages are complete and can actually be spoken. The Black Speech, in the fictional universe, was invented by Sauron, the evil overlord of Mordor, to unite all his servants. There is only one full passage written in the book in Black Speech, and a few fragments scattered elsewhere. However, a workable grammar and basic, but strangely skewed, vocabulary can be inferred from these scraps. The sentence above is grammatically correct Black Speech, reading,”All rulers lie hidden in darkness and gather land to devour.”
