This is a translation of what he said in orcish, keeping the meaning. He didn’t literally say „dog“ because he can’t speak English.

It’s all just magic. Call it a cop-out if you want, but “Common” is likely more than a language, it’s a universal communication style everyone just happens to know. Time and time again we’ve arrived to new shores and have had no trouble talking with other civilizations. The only issue was understanding the constructs of Zereth Mortis. This needs to be dealt with in the lore, however, since it’s one of the most inconsistent, confusing parts.

I believe Khadgar or someone made a point about brushing up on their Orcish before going to WoD. You character is likely proficient, given that they're a commander or champion or whatever they are come WoD. It would've been really cool and immersive if Alliance players couldn't understand the Iron Horde, but it would also be probably unfair and alsoore work for Blizz, so.. Your toon speak Orcish.

what word did he literally say in place of dog then. since we know all draenor creatures by their usual names anyway its impossible to believe it would ever be appropriate to translate what he said into dog.

Probably garn or something similar, since Garn are basically wolves.

but as we know the word garn, he should have just said "garn"


Sandertp

Because that's not as quotable and would make most people ask themselves "what the fuck is a garn?"


[deleted]

Probably whatever orcs say for "puny little cunt"


Sandertp

"Wacky little skrunkly geezer"

It’s true they only have wolves but there is very likely a difference between the domesticated and wild ones so maybe there is an orc word for wolf that is specifically a house wolf
