Does anyone know if there is somewhere on the internet where you can type in a word and it will translate it to elvish?

Thanks for your help!

[Aragorn*9]

[Anamatar IV]

Elvish_English (http://quenya.tripod.com/cgi-bin/translator.cgi)

I was hoping to respond with a great big 'awesome' but the link doesn't work:(

[Anamatar IV]

i dont know why it doesnt work. heres the url-http://quenya.tripod.com/translator.html

[Aragorn*9]

[Aragorn*9]

i think i might use that. but i like this one personally.

http://elendor.net/translator.php i think that is it. and how do u make ur link say a word like "Elvish" or somehthing other than http...???

[Aragorn*9]

I believe you put [u r l=whatever the link is]What you want it to say[/url]

Don't put spaces in the url though, I just did that to show you.

Try that, and thanks for the site, I'll go look at it.

[Anamatar IV]

i dont know which one to trust!

[Aragorn*9]

what do you mean? What link? Yeah, I did see they're different!

[Legolas_lover12]

well i'm not sure which one to trust. i guess if u wanted to name something u could see what each of them says and pick whichever name you like best. and let me try that little linking thing:

Elvish Translator (http://elendor.net/translator.php)

now let's see if it works!!

[Legolas_lover12]

YIPPE!!! IT WORKED!!!

[Aragorn*9]

goody!! I told you right!!!

The only Sindarin "dictionary" I recommend on the web is Didier Willis' ~ link from Ardalambion (which is unfortunately down for repairs last time I checked). There however, if you are looking up a word in Sindarin you must be aware of the mutations, as the non-mutated form will head the entry of course.

[Aragorn*9]

One more request. Is there and elvish alphabet out there I can see?

[Legolas_lover12]

well. there is the tengwar. but i couldn't figure out which letters went w/ which so i can't help u there.:(

[gate7ole]

I wanted to share this with you:
I found an ad at a magazine for lessons of Quenya! Like schools for foreign languages! We can take a maste of Quenyology!

[Aragorn*9]

lol that's cool! Someone what's to teach others Quenya? hehe neat!

I downloaded these from a site that i really like:Tel'Mallen - The Circle (http://www.grey-company.org/Circle/index2.htm)

-Flame

EDIT: File was removed due to attachment quota

[Flame of Anor]

here is the other: or not....it is too large. If you want to download it. you can get it from my previous post. it is a zip of a document entitled elvish.

[FREEDOM!]

All thats really cool!!

[Finrod]

thanks for "phrase" i have been looking for something like this. Does anyone know the alphabet that was on the "the one ring"? I probably am the only one who doesn't know it but i would like to find it.

Grey Company Elvish is an incorrect form of Tolkien's languages; it seems to be a strange spawn between Sindarin, Quenya and something of their own! Anyway, don't learn it: learn the real Elvish! (Gosh, I sound like a tv commercial) :)
And as for the Tengwar, if you can't find an easy-to-read Tengwar-aid, I would be more than hapy to tach people. I have written Tengwar for over two years now, but it did take me a while though. I learned it from a marvelous book by a Jim Allan, called An Introduction to Elvish, which has ben mantioned numerous times at this forum. It is a wonderful book, which offers amazing insight into Tolkien's languages (on more on this subject, I'm sure Cian would be happy to take over ;))

Yeh I want to learn to speak Elvish to but the link didn't work for me either.

Cool, didn't know there was such a thing as the translator. I want to wish my son a happy birthday today. Is this a correct translation in Quenya:

Happy Birthday Cody from Mom and Dad

Valimo nosta Cody e amil a atar

[Elennainie]

If any of you would like to learn elvish, you are most welcome to join our online Quenya class here at the forum. See my sig. for the link. :)

Some folks use Alassea nostarë for "happy, joyful birthday" ~ Alassea is an adj. derived from alasse "joy".

The Tengwar Word Processor on this site will transcribe from Latin to Tengwar. It is complicated, and I think you need to know Elvish to use it properly (a bit like trying to use a Chinese WP - you have to know what it's for). Tengwar Word Processor (http://hem.passagen.se/mansb/at/tengscribe.htm)
If you want to learn Sindarin, then all it's grammatical nuances can be studied here (http://www.uib.no/people/hnohf/sindarin.htm)

Enjoy!
