THE BLACK SPEECH (4 Jan 1994 revision) by A.Appleyard, E28d, Materials Science, UMIST, Manchester 1 (email: [email protected]) (Adapted from my article currently stored in the TolkLang archive file ftp.dcs.ed.ac.uk:/export/TolkLang/articles/Appleyard.BlackSpeech) Black Speech vinyakaarier by various people have prompted me to codify and coordinate the available BS matter. We have:- (RI): Ring-inscription, by Tolkien: `Ash nazg durbatuluuk, ash nazg gimbatul, ash nazg thrakatuluuk, agh burzum-ishi krimpatul.' = "One ring to rule them all, one ring to find them, one ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them.".
