Is it possible there could be something Ork in origin in the eldar's Black Library of Chaos ? I know orks normally don't "write" in the traditional sense, but I figure since they've been around as long as the eldar, they have had something to contribute to it.

No. It'd be the most awesome. Right up there with Da Tragedy of Hamlet, boss of Denmark.

Anything written in that ridiculous ork speech shouldn't exist in the first place.

A shame then, because Engine of Mork and Evil Sun Rising are both fantastic.

I thought the Ork speech was just them trying to imitate high-gothic or their words being translated for the closet imperial equivalent.

In the two I mentioned, it is clear that the words are being translated into Gothic, which leads to some rather impressively posh-sounding Deathskulls and Bad Moons.
