Language in WoW

So I have some lowkey headcannon of language in WoW that especially reflects the language and speech patterns of the more “savage” races like the Horde’s orcs or Trolls. 

The language system in WoW permits that every word you type is translated to the language you have set (like Orcish or Thalassian). You can still comprehend and “speak” any word though if someone says that word in the same languages you can comprehend. Therefore, saying  the orcish version of inconspicuous would be understood by orcs! So in turn I believe that when language is interpreted as savage in WoW, it’s all upon the audience to understand. I was wondering this because I thought of “why no orcs use big words?” Maybe they ARE using big words... We just don’t understand such a c o m p l e x language.

I mainly went about this when I was asked why I was using big and more complicated words for Khornoth. I asked why not and presented the same argument. They found it sensible! :D 

Here’s some Horde warriors speaking when you poke them. Lots of poking.
