| Posted by Donshire at 2003-08-3117:50:00 | | I admire your dedication to the language, and I certainly agree that it is a beautiful language; however, I have to say its a bit extreme. Look, I like elves just as much if not more than the next fantasy write that comes along, but truly keep a hobby as a hobby, and keep life to life. Now I'm not saying you people don't have lives and are nerds, because I don't know any one of you; all I'm saying is, I don't think Tolkien meant for this. |
| Posted by Some at 2003-08-3021:42:00 | | So there are actuall ppl in the world who speak a made up language with absolutely no educational value at all? lol i guess a passion's a passion or some such. No i met this Really big guy that could easily be a bully and speaks Klingon ROFLMAO hes a trekkie LOL its sooo funny. ahem sry but you guys just have a lot of time to study such an intricate and complex language, even if it has some fantasy elements about it..... |

| Posted by Anaeles at 2003-07-2315:46:00 | | Jane - That sounds like Sindarin or Quenya to me. I can't speak them myself, but they're Tolkien languages and plenty of people can. Sargas - My Elven declines nouns. It has three declensions, but, like sanskrit, the nominative suffixes don't follow a patten for which declension they are in. Also, prefixes are added for some cases. Basically, the word stem doesn't change (it's an agglutinative language). |
| Posted by Jane at 2003-06-1209:01:00 | | Hello. I would love it if anyone would be able to translate this small piece a friend sent me. All I know is that it is an ancient forgotten language that not many speak. Ok, here goes... "A vanimar, ancalina, anarinya...me cenuva. Indo-ninya estel". Thanks to anyone who can help. |

I made up a really complex Gaelic sounding one recently, and it didn't sound very Elven. (Sein aire oi'maolein?) But a really cool sounding one is Ancient Elven. It's like a mix between Welsh, Anglo-Saxon and Indonesian (in sound anyway). Here- Ilta elvis greodie lu, fir, nusi gwas calies enggar, u chlidin gwas fwi hades eran, u fyolin dutin gwa sanggial. U fwir elendi cyulin fwathis gwa, landif farin gwal. U caledis gwas bwlid edis bifir, sagwi gwa vanggie lu, u elethin gwas gwis, u vadis gwas gwis.

| Posted by Vilance at 2003-05-1421:07:00 | | wow, great job, i'm no FR expert but i have owned the bulk of the sourcebooks on FR, and other than the FR version of elvish races, little to no information is discused on the language. heck i think there is more reference for dwarven runes in FR and maybe the Dark elf language. keep up the good work, and i would suggest using aspects of welsh and gaelic they have a very fae sound.

| Posted by Anaeles at 2003-04-2813:43:00 | | I'm fairly sure that mine *is* the only Toril Elven. Email me! Note- these translations will anly be available for a certain amount of time as I'm going to be reeeaaaally busy quite soon, so if you want something translated, contact me now. |
| Posted by Drakewind at 2003-04-0206:35:00 | | just thought id point out that more than likely the elven dictionary mentioned earlier from the core rules was most likely elven from Oerth since that is the dnd core world, that being said, although i have seen silvanesti and qualinesti(elven languages of kryyn) used in offical dnd books and modules. i dont ever recall and large amount of the elven language of toril used. |
| Posted by Anaeles at 2003-02-2010:33:00 | | Now, I don't know about those. They may be Quenya or some such, because I have never heard of an Elven language out of Tolkien. Besides, making languages is not a chore for me, it is very enjoyable. If there is a DD Elven, then this can at least be Faerûn Elven. Do you remember what that Elven looked like? If anybody else knows more about such things, please tell me. |
