Nerglish

Nerglish (or murloc)Bubble Baubles is the native guttural languageWarcraft III: Reign of Chaos manual, Creatures of Lordaeron & Northrend, Murlocs of the murloc race,Ultimate Visual Guide, pg. 179 as well as the primary language of the makrura and a few other aquatic races.Archive lore tweets from loreology The language namely consists of the murlocs' iconic gurgling battle cry. Nerglish is "impossibly difficult" to decipher, causing the murlocs' supposed intelligence to be seen as debatable by non-murlocs. Despite this, other races such as night elves can learn and speak the language fluently.Traveler, pg. 195 The language is described as difficult to get one's tongue around the subtleties of pronunciation, but is a beautifully expressive language. Murlocs of the Winterfin tribe in the Borean Tundra have their own unique murloc dialect.Learning to Communicate
In the Traveler series, a great deal of it is heavily accented Common.

*Eddie Malone claims to have picked up a few words of Nerglish back when he took some MMA classes. During he and Professor Doyle's welcoming ceremony in an Un'Goro Crater murloc village, Eddie only managed to make out the murlocs' words for "party", "feast", and "Megafin". When Megafin finally appeared at the feast, he and Eddie quickly became friends and agreed to be pen pals so that Eddie could practice his Nerglish.
==In the TCG==
An excerpt from Nat Pagle's Field Guide to Aquatic Life reads: "I know the murlocs sound like they're just gurgling, but they're speaking a real language. 'Ggmmmlmrmrgmg' means 'murloc', for example."Frenzyfin
==In the RPG==
Nerglish is the languages spoken by murlocs, makrura, and a few other aquatic races. Nerglish is a low aquatic tongue akin to Low Common for cultures that dwell in the deeps. Makrura speak Nerglish (and were perhaps the first to use that tongue).Lands of Mystery, pg. 68, 71 Murlocs usually only speak their racial dialect of the language, also known simply as Murloc, and nothing else,Manual of Monsters, pg. 64 although some have been known to learn other languages.Lands of Mystery, pg. 138 It is unknown how much of a difference there is between murloc and makrura dialects of the language.
===Names===
Murloc names contain many wet, soft sounds; "sh"s, "l"s, and "m"s are common. Their tribe names recall something of the tribe's accomplishments, appearance, history, or tradition.Dark Factions, pg. 11
*Male Names: Ashmol, Loshof, Molgloo, Shlesh.
*Female Names: Malash, Orgloom, Seeshen, Shyresh.
*Tribe Names: Blindlight, Bluegill, Greymist, Saltspittle.
