Taur-ahe, also known as "Taurahe", is the [[language]] of [[tauren]]. It is pronounced "taur-AH-heh." The language of the tauren is often harsh and low sounding.{{Cite|WoWRPG|48}} Tauren do not have an alphabet as other races do; their written language is made of elaborate pictograms and pictoforms.{{Cite|WRPG|104,105}} While the tauren have a written language, based on pictoforms rather than alphabet, their nomadic ancestry discouraged writing. As such, written documentation usually falls to the tribe's shamans and is done on the sides of huts, clothing, tools, or even rocks and other natural formations. Most history and lessons are passed down orally from one generation to the next.{{Cite|WRPG|52}}

===Tauren Names===
 
The language of the tauren is often harsh and low sounding, which is reflected in the names of their children. The last name of a tauren is usually a family name, handed down through the generations. If the tauren has performed some act that has made an impression on the elders of his tribe, however, he may choose to take on his own last name to commemorate that act.
 
* Male Names: Azok, Bron, Turok, Garaddon, Hruon, Jeddek.
 
* Female Names: Argo, Serga, Grenda, Beruna, Halfa.
 
* Family Names: Darkthorn, Thunderhoof, Stormhorn, Quillsplitter, Stonebreaker, Plainstalker, Spiritwalker.

This is the list of words created by the in-game language parser for the Taurahe language, and is listed as language number three (word range 315-422) in the Language text file. The parser is used to mask both NPC and players that speak "Taurahe" when encountered by other races.

==Patches and hotfixes==
Note: The language algorithm used by the in-game "translator" merely makes the words ''look'' like Taur-ahe. It does not actually translate words. Therefore, translated in-game speech isn't true Taur-ahe.

When translating text, the language algorithm will use the exact same number of letters for each word and the same order they were said in. Multiple things will turn out to be one word.
