The Elfish Language & Elvish names

Started by muse516 pages

isilwen and vorthas, i like ur sigs... one of my friends learned elfish, and she started talking at me one day, this was before i became a huge fanatic, it was kinda funny, i was like yo hablo ingles (i speak english)

It´s hard but is funny too...
A friend of mine writed a letter in elvish to me, I have to translate, and was great...
One week later she received a letter in elvish too!

lol good idea a havent trief letters in sindarin or somethign yet... too difficult... only in elvish writing systems (yah thats really cool... I even tried to write with a real bird's feather i had found some days before... works really good)

I have the book. 🙂 I'm trying to learn and it is so great.😄

What book?

Which books/websites did you use to learn a bit "elvish"?
I liked Ardalambion, sindarin.de, lambion-ardava, some books with wordlists and for etymologies The Lost Road by Tolkien and the Introduction To Elvish by Jim Allen.

The Gobeth is also great.

The book called "The Languages of Tolkien's Middle-Earth". It'a very good book and technically it's not just Elvish languages that's in there but also the other languages in Middle-Earth.

The languages that are in there are the 14 Middle-Earth languages that Tolkiens had created (such a genious).

Black Speech
Common Speech (Westron)
Dunlending
Hobbit language
Khuzdul (Dwarvish)
Other languages of Men
Numenorean (Adunaic)
Orkish
Pre-Numenorean
Quenya
Rohan
Sindarin
Sylvan
Wose

woo!!! too much to learn! LOL 😂

I'm also visiting some sites to learn fast and those sites that you mentioned are the sites that I've visited already. 🙂

LOL.. out of topic but I thought I'd share. I'm having a hard time right now to learn the Middle-Earth languages because my time and enthusiasm are shared by Tolkien's Middle Earth and the X-MEN. (Just a good thing that I've became addicted to Middle-Earth first so I already have all the books related to it and had some many decent knowledge just before the X-MEN bursted into my life. 😂 )

i want 2 kno how to speak elvish 🐰

im with orlinelijahsgrl they are sooooooooooooo hot 😍 ✅

I really love Adûnaic and Khuzdul... and Black Speech of course. Cool.
All the elvish ones are also not bad.
Avalôiyada!

Unfortunately so few things are known about the languages of men, especially Westron 🙁

lol thats practically impossible... but it's not so difficult to learn some greetings, a bit of grammar and some words to understand more in the books (the translations of the names are amazing - tell a lot about the character)

Aiya ilyë lambendili ar lambengolmor! Merin sa haryallë alassë!

lambendili... yes 🙂 🙂
*tryin to translate first sentence with my poor quenya*´
Is that something like... "[greeting] all friendsoflanguage and [somebody who knows a lot about a language, probably studied it]"... ok I have absolutely no idea about the second... Isnt "meril" a rose or something? Ah no it says merin... no idea... *looks for a book*

Where do i go to learn how to wright elvish? I would like to speak it too but it is too time consuming. I just think the writing is the most stunning thing i eva did see some one write, i gotta know how to write like that!

need help

i have given up on looking for it i cant find anything with like the whole alphebet and stuff and what i want to say and stuff so i was wondering if anyone could help

Thanks, finally someone realized that there is a big difference between writing and speaking...

A very good site is for example http://hem.passagen.se/mansb/at/tengwar.htm

The easiest mode can be found here http://hem.passagen.se/mansb/at/teng_beleriand.htm
It's the fullwriting of the Sindar of the First Age

Its a bit confusing as there are so many different modes... on the first page is a table for the Englisch or Common Mode, others like the Beleriand-Mode can be found with the link at the bottom of the page.

my uncle can speak elvish, because his friend knew J.R.Tolkien, and he got the inscription (from the sauron's ring) on his arm (tatooed)

Cool... you're lucky... I also want to have an uncle whose friend knew Tolkien!!

I was given lots of links to learn...truth is, I'm lazy and don't find the time! 😬

Learning Elvish would be so cool!
