Really? Totally by accident I assure you!
The orcs are influenced by a mixture of Germanic and Celtic flavors when it comes to their naming scheme and their manner of speech is influenced by Anglish (fully germanic English).
Though I had to tone it down a bit. I felt like readers might get too confused so I use Anglish phrasing for a few words here and there “minting” instead of “trying” and “folk” instead of “people” to try and give a distinct, somewhat exotic but familiar speech to the orcs.
