I transliterated using the Futharc Runes, and not the Uruk Runes. Matter of fact, I didn't even know that J.R.R. Tolkien had created runes apart from the Cirth.

Tolkien. Alessandro's translation of the text is correct but I think the transliteration should be: Ash nok durbatuluk Ash nok ginbatul Ash nok dratuluk Ak burum ishi krimbatul The alphabet is Uruk Runes and language is Black Speech, both of which were invented by J.R.R. Tolkien. Alessandro’s translation of the text is correct but I think the transliteration should be:

Ash nok durbatuluk
Ash nok ginbatul
Ash nok dratuluk
Ak burum ishi krimbatul

It reads Ah nok durbatuluk Ah nok thinbatul Ah nok dratuluk Ak burum ih krimbatul Which is really similar to the inscriptians in the ring, that read Ash nazg durbatulûk Ash nazg gimbatul Ash nazg thrakatulûk Agh burzum-ishi krimpatul That translates into One Ring to rule them all One Ring to find them One Ring to bring them all And in the darkness bind them Yeah, as Nikki said, it looks like Black Speech.

It reads

Ah nok durbatuluk
Ah nok thinbatul
Ah nok dratuluk
Ak burum ih krimbatul

Which is really similar to the inscriptians in the ring, that read

Ash nazg durbatulûk
Ash nazg gimbatul
Ash nazg thrakatulûk
Agh burzum-ishi krimpatul

That translates into

One Ring to rule them all
One Ring to find them
One Ring to bring them all
And in the darkness bind them
