Rohirric
In the fictional world of Middle-earth by J. R. R. Tolkien, Rohirric is the language of the Rohirrim of Rohan.
In the novels it is always represented by Anglo-Saxon, and only few actual Rohirric words are given by Tolkien: kûd-dûkan, an old word meaning 'hole-dweller' which led to kuduk, the name the Hobbits had for themselves. Even these terms were translated in the book: 'hobbit' is said to derive from the Anglo-Saxon word Holbytla, or hole-builder.
The only other Rohirric given is the element "lô-"/"loh-" corresponding to Anglo-Saxon "éo", horse, and the derived names Lôgrad for Horse-Mark, and Lohtûr for Éothéod, horse-people, or horse-land.
All names beginning with Éo- are actually names beginning with Lô- or Loh-, but the real forms of Éomer, Éowyn etc. are not given. Only one proper name is given, that of Théoden: the actual form was Tûrac, which shows that Rohirric had adopted the Sindarin element "tur-" also present in names like Turgon, with meaning power/mastery (i.e. King).
The languages of the Kingdom of Rhovanion, Esgaroth and Dale (often called Dalish or Dale-ish)) were related to Rohirric.
