I'm specifically curious about the language of Orcs. 

A lot of Fantasy language is typically based upon mixtures of languages that the authors studied. For an example, Tolkiens' scope of Elvish was based upon study of Greek & Hebrew, just for scope of that alone, the while I think it should have been more based upon Gaedhlig, which is aspectually based upon a focus of Greek & Hebrew itself, giving point to the likely inferred similitude of Tolkiens' Elvish & the sounds of some Gaedhlig words. C.S. Lewis, in like. while Lewis' work seems less inclusive of his language studies, unless one reads the Simarilion.

Orc names within Morrowind seem on the edge of ridiculous. I name my own Orc characters based upon a mixture of Hebrew & Arabic phonetics, while I'm curious what's been discerned about Orcish language within TES.

^.^

Cheers!!
