This lead him among other reasons to create the books that he is known for. So, Elvish does not have culture around it that makes it practical for people to learn. Though you can speak a fictional language like Elvish, it must be done for reason related to enjoyment purposes rather than for any typical reasoning. Many might wonder if Tolkien was the only one to make a Elvish language.
There has been many fantasy books over the years. Have any of these made a Elvish language, or one that is well known enough to talk about? How many Elvish language are their? Elvish is not just a creation of Tolkien. Their are other writers who made similar languages for Elves. However, Tolkien is by far the most well known and arguably talented with his version. Within his Elvish language, two prominent differing dialects are Sindarin and Quenya. Sindarin was the language that was spoken in the popular Lord of The Rings adaptation films.
On whether there are other Elvish languages, I have no doubt that there are some. Elvish can be learned, but only to a certain degree. It remains unfinished, and barely spoken. Tolkien never envisioned people attempting to learn the language.
It was made merely for his own enjoyment. Yet, that proved to be for many others enjoyment as well, since the popularity of his works still are apparent today. You can learn Elvish, but it mostly will be done as a past time. Namely, learning Elvish because you just want to have fun rather than a serious commitment.

I can't seem to find any. I don't want generic books that only teach you a few phrases. I would like to speak it fluently. I need an audio version, so I can hear how to pronounce the words correctly. Any recommendation would be appreciated. Elthir Active Member. I don't mean to rain on your enthusiasm, but not even Tolkien could speak any of his invented tongues fluently. One can learn about Tolkien's languages of course, and I find it very interesting and rewarding.
I try to write in Neo-elvish sometimes. It's fun. I just tried out some Neo-Sindarin here recently. Carl Hostetter has tried his hand at Neo-Elvish too far more expertly than I ever could , but I think the implied distinction with "Neo-" is important given the reasons elaborated at his website.
That's a shame there isn't a place to practically learn it. But I'll definitely checkout those links thanks. Arquen New Member. It's structured in lessons which each describe new grammar, together with a sample text or dialogue to show it in everyday speech everyday in Middle-earth , that means fighting and other elfy stuff and even a list of some vocabulary. However, the textbook and the wikibook have got differences in grammar Because it's actually Neo-Quenya. Quite substantial actually; like different pronouns and rules for past tense formation.
So I would suggest starting with the textbook, learn the grammar, and then compare it with what's written on the wikibooks. The reason for the wikibooks article to be different might be because it is newer, so it may contain stuff that was not known in time of writing of the textbook, or maybe because Quenya fans themselves changed stuff and invented more stuff, in order to make the language more complete hence the name Neo-Quenya. I hope this helps.

There are workbooks and other guides to help you learn either Quenya or Sindarin. I found them very helpful. However, be careful if you say this to one who does not speak your form of elvish. It means "I am not prepared" in Sindarin. You pronounce them as if the E was not there. If the word ends with a different vowel than E, it is not silent. Elvish languages are constructed languages used by elves in a fantasy setting.
