But if there is a guide somewhere that covers a wide range of phrases and words then that is what I am after, I have pieced together a few phrases, but I know some of the languages used in the Warcraft universe are so removed from common (Human) speak, that they have almost no common speak in them at all, and that is what I am after.
I ask as I am planning on beefing up my RP thread/s with some characters that speak, perhaps for the most part, only in their native tongue, say Orcish, or Taur-ahe (Tauren) or Darnassian or something.

-Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost. That is alchemy's First Law of Equivalent Exchange. In those days, we really believed that to be the world's one, and only, truth.
PlugY for Diablo II allows you to reset skills and stats, transfer items between characters in singleplayer, obtain all ladder runewords and do all Uberquests while offline. It is the only way to do all of the above. Please use it.

Kek is what the Alliance see when a Horde member types LOL.
Apparently Koreans like weird monsters. Almost every race in the Horde is a monster of some kind. Undead, Orc, Troll, Tauren.
Kek is a simplified version of Keke or kekekeke. Which is apparently the closest thing to how Koreans laugh. Every played Starcraft against a Korean "All your base are belong to us keke!!!"
It's yet another of BLizzard's references to fans. I believe another if not the first is Operation CWAL. There was a group who Couldn't Wait Any Longer for Starcraft to come out.
ANd yeah I know the languages are not as expansive as Tolkeins ones. Also it seems that translating BLizzards languages is kinda Illegal. Apparently it in the Terms of Agreement. There is a reason BLizzard doesn't want humans understanding orcish, taurahe, gutterspeak, thalassian or anyother language.
Apparently awhile back undead could speak common, (and some other alliance languages) and would harass members of the alliance. So BLizzard punished everyone by making it impossible for Members of one faction to understand members of another faction. Sad. Punish role players for Pkers. Man we get the raw end of the stick everytime don't we?
And incase you didn't catch on, the reason the undead language is classes as Gutterspeak is because of said undead people and their harassment statements.
I would glady take fan fiction translations if anyone has them? I think they are legal, for now.

Anyway, I never knew that WoW had different languages, that's pretty cool.
Well I think they're more words and names than actual languages, I don't know how extensively the grammar has been fleshed out in them. Probably not very far.

Almost every race has there own language. This is displayed in game as words or phrases that the characters commonly say.
Orcs often say Throm' Ka meaning Welcome or Hello. Night Elves says Elune Adore which means Elune bless you or Elune be with you. And A tuaren might say Ish-ne-alo por-ah, which is a greeting, but kinda wierd since Por-ah is a giant statue.
This sort of thing is present in every Warcraft game since WC1. Zug Zug (yes) Dabu (As you command) Swobu (I obey), Glor'du (I obey) ( Lok'tar Ogar (Victory or Death!)

Surely some of you write fan fiction or play WOW on RP servers.
I do not think an actual translator of this scope and size exists for warcraft languages (if one does can you please link it for me) http://www.eilistraee.com/chosen/language.php?page=common.

If I remember right, certain words like 'lol' are always translated as 'kek' in WoW, but longer words are randomized. So no help there.

It's the decisions you make when you have no time to make them that define who you are.
