To flesh out the setting, Middle-earth Role Playing introduces many new languages.
Apysaic
The Apysaic languages were spoken by Haradrim, and dominate south-west Middle-earth. It was originally the language of the Apysan peoples, who migrated through Ered Harmal in two waves. The first wave settled in Hyarn, Elorna, Mirëdor, Drel, and Pel. A second wave of settlers 1500 years late took control of Far Harad, and their Haradaic-influenced speech is named New or Northern Apysaic.[1][2]
