I would have to disagree with you for flavor purposes.
Maybe something Mongolian (thinking Genghis Khan and his influence on the Klingon's language)due to the ability of being able to say everything like you're mad =), or perhaps some sort of homebrewed Neanderthal language.
Caveat - I am in no way stating that Central Asian people are Neanderthals. Just two distinct examples that could work with the Golarion Orc.
ahahhahaa
Great minds....think alike, but ninja each other =)
I agree with Klingon.
Years ago a friend of mine played an orc character used a cross betwen an australian accent mixed with a lot of the slang used in the red dwarf tv show. It worked really well and I now have problems not thinking of orcs sounding like this. Though it sounds a bit silly as I describe it.
Neanderthal was my first idea as well.
But Mongolian might be cool too. They do have hordes after all.
How about Klingon?
This was my first thought as well.
The La people seem to be the Mongolian analog in Golarion (Tian Xia) with the Hobgoblins perhaps an alternate Mongolian analog, so I wouldn't try to make Orcish like Mongolian if you're playing in Golarion. I guess Orcish would be influenced by the Underdark languages, Undercommon, Elven(Drow), Dwarven, and maybe also Varisian/Shoanti. Might as well go with Klingon, especially the early Trek Klingon :-)
How do we know how any neanderthal language sounded like (if they had language at all)? That's what I'm confused about by suggestions of neanderthal. Do people just mean grunting?
I believe Varisian and Shoanti are supposed to be partly influenced by Orcish.

More the idea of a very crude, not particularly sophisticated or complex language.
At one point we had determined which of various accents were to be used for Dwarven (Scottish of course), Thassilonian (Bostonian for some reason), Varisian (New Jersey), and several others.
Huh, we did a similar strange thing, in that Halflings speak Texan. Had not thought to use Bostonian or Jersey before. Thanks for the ideas.
The great thing about Klingon is that you can download a font and use the text in a game. If you don't get some phrases from Star Trek movies/TV, there is probably an English/Klingon translator with audio output.
I recommend using stern language. It is an orc after all.
Tolkien's "Black Speech" is an option too.
I would think that for Star Trek fans using Klingon would be extremely jarring and take you 'out of universe' rather quickly.
