does anyone know where i can download an elvish thing that has the elvish words and their rite pronunciation??? i want to learn how to say them properly and the only way i can do that is hear it then repeat it

so if anyone does help would be appreciated

All I know online are recordings of the stuff they say in the film... which are not always too clearly pronounced except the lines by Arwen...

I found a download of the "Ai laurie lantar lassi súrinen"-poem read by Tolkien somewhere a while ago, but i cant remember where that was

www.elvish.org (or elvish.org/gwaith/movie.htm) offers some downloads of famous quotes etc as soundfiles, from the films as well as new ones by linguists, but I dont know any pages with... basic vocabulary or so.


Generally the pronounciation of the elvish languages is rather easy as it's very regular - the way they are written strictly represents the pronounciation, unlike most "real", grown languages like French, German etc.,
so those few soundfiles kinda explain most of the pronounciation anyways - except for the stresses maybe.

well....i also wanted it to play while im asleep....they say u can learn sumtin betttter that way....so i wanted to try it....that kinda sux

What does

Some soundfiles from elvish-org:

http://elvish.org/gwaith/sounds/boyenselvish4.zip
http://elvish.org/gwaith/sounds/official-elvish.zip
http://elvish.org/gwaith/bruinen.wav.zip


Here the dialogues from the film are downloadable (at least all those with the red head-symbol next to them)

A while ago this soundfile by Tolkien was offered for download here
www.angelfire.com/ny/rachelstuff/tolkien_ipa.html
