| Post subject: | Confused about elvish. |
Hey, I have just signed up to this site and have been very interested in learning elvish for a few years now, but only recently began to look into it. I was wondering are sindarin and quenya written in a different alphabet? such as Tengwar? or are they just written in English? Also, are both forms used in the LotR books/films? Thank you very much for your help and I am very sorry if this has already been posted somewhere else. Also, can anyone recomend the best way to learn either Quenya or Sindarin? Through a book or any good websites? This would also be very very much apreciated! Thanks again, Michael. |

Both Sindarin and Quenya are written in tengwar and english, thouhg Tengwar is how it should be written. The elvish used in the films is mostly Sindarin, though there are a couple of Quenya bits, like Aragorn's coronation song. The way i am learning elvish is through the languages workbook on www.councilofelrond.com . You have to sign up to the site to use it, but it is very good, and there is a forum there especially devoted to elvish, so you can query things there, and, I believe, have discussions in elvish. |
