  • Guide to Tolkienian Nationality Words by Malinornë After an Idea by ~Nóleme~
    Guide to Tolkienian nationality words By Malinornë after an idea by ~nóleme~ The purpose of this chart is to help writers of fan fiction to avoid common mistakes involving non-English names for groups and individuals of various peoples, languages etc. The letters in parenthesis in the first column show which language the main term is in: Q for Quenya, S for Sindarin, E for English, D for Dwarvish and R for Rohirric. For many of the Sindarin terms, two plural forms are listed. The term marked "coll." is a collective noun or class plural that is used for a people or group as a whole. If you need a term for a number of individuals, then use the second one listed. Example: "the two Enyd", not "the two Onodrim". Or, make it simple and use English: "the two Ents" :) If the general adjective is not known, it usually works to circumscribe, e.g. write "of the Dúnedain". It can also work to simply use a noun, e.g. "She had hobbit blood." Avoid the plural form – don't write "He had Eorlingas ancestors."

The oldest cirth were , , , ; , , ; , , ; , ; , ziueo 1 2 5 6 8 9 12¤ 18 ¥19 22 29 31 35 ; , , , ; and a certh varying between and .

This tendency to hesitate in the assignment of values for s and h continued in laterpl arangements. In those characters that consisted of a ‘stem’ and a ‘branch’, 1 – 31 , the attachment of the branch was, if on one side only, usually made on the right side. The reverse was not infrequent, but had no phonetic significance. The extension and elaboration of this certhas was called in its older form the Angerthas Daeron, since the additions to the old cirth and their re-organization was attributed to¤ Daeron.§ The principal additions, however, the introductions of two new series, 13 – 17 , and 23 – 28 , were actually most probably inventions of the Noldor of Eregion, since they were used for the representation of sounds not found in Sindarin. In the rearrangement of the Angerthas the following principles are observable (evidently inspired by the F¨eanorian system): (1) adding a stroke to a brance added a ‘voice’; (2) reversing the certh indicated opening to a ‘spirant’; (3) placing the branch on both sides of the stem added voice and nasality.

  • UTOPIAN for BEGINNERS an Amateur Linguist Loses Control of the Language He Invented
    ANNALS OF LINGUISTICS DECEMBER 24 & 31, 2012 IUE UTOPIAN FOR BEGINNERS An amateur linguist loses control of the language he invented. By Joshua Foer Quijada’s invented language has two seemingly incompatible ambitions: to be maximally precise but also maximally concise. here are so many ways for speakers of English to see the world. We can T glimpse, glance, visualize, view, look, spy, or ogle. Stare, gawk, or gape. Peek, watch, or scrutinize. Each word suggests some subtly different quality: looking implies volition; spying suggests furtiveness; gawking carries an element of social judgment and a sense of surprise. When we try to describe an act of vision, we consider a constellation of available meanings. But if thoughts and words exist on different planes, then expression must always be an act of compromise. Languages are something of a mess. They evolve over centuries through an unplanned, democratic process that leaves them teeming with irregularities, quirks, and words like “knight.” No one who set out to design a form of communication would ever end up with anything like English, Mandarin, or any of the more than six thousand languages spoken today. “Natural languages are adequate, but that doesn’t mean they’re optimal,” John Quijada, a fty-three-year-old former employee of the California State Department of Motor Vehicles, told me. In 2004, he published a monograph on the Internet that was titled “Ithkuil: A Philosophical Design for a Hypothetical Language.” Written like a linguistics textbook, the fourteen-page Web site ran to almost a hundred and sixty thousand words. It documented the grammar, syntax, and lexicon of a language that Quijada had spent three decades inventing in his spare time.

  • LING Thesis Draft 5
    TOLKIEN’S TONGUES: * THE PHONETICS AND PHONOLOGY OF TOLKIEN’S QUENYA LANGUAGE Kelsey Ryan ABSTRACT J.R.R. Tolkien, author of The Lord of the Rings and other Middle Earth tales as well as Oxford professor of linguistics, constructed over 14 languages in the development of the background of his stories. This thesis will seek to understand Tolkien’s linguistic experiment of Quenya, first in its historical context, and then assess its linguistic merit and behaviors. In the first few sections, Tolkien’s linguistic and academic background will be investigated, setting the scene for further linguistic analysis. This thesis then explores how the authentic nature of the language is developed and evoked through the phonetics and phonology of Tolkien’s Quenya, using the poem “Namárië” from The Fellowship of the Ring for analysis. Smith (2010:7) argues that Tolkien created a “flowing,” “light and melodious” language, designed much like a Romance language, with no “potentially harsh” phonemes or “brusque English consonant clusters.” But with such claims must come evidence. This thesis provides the background research Smith (2010) lacks behind these claims, defining Quenya as a functional language, with clear patterns and tendencies towards particular phonetic and linguistic behaviors. * Special thanks to: my advisors Professors Nathan Sanders (Linguistics) and Maud McInerney (English), Sofia Berlin and Lisa Bao, the library staff, particularly Jeremiah Mercurio, and Lizzie Carp and Bobby Brooks, for their ‘Excel-lent’ help in creating graphs.

I would also like to thank my friends and family for always pushing me to go one step further and to think outside the box. I discovered the universe of Middle-Earth during my childhood, and for that reason, it will always have a special place in my heart. Before going to bed, my father used to read The Hobbit to me.

    Linguistic Foolery:: Sindarin vs Quenya: RELEVANCE FIGHT! 1 ____ Linguistic Foolery Sindarin vs Quenya: RELEVANCE FIGHT! By Darth Fingon ___ Where Tolkien's two major Elvish languages are concerned, there's a lot of confusion regarding which one is used when for naming original characters and including random words and snippets of dialogue. This is a Back to Basics Linguistic Foolery article for people who have no interest in listening to me blathering about obscure stuff like how the letter D in primitive Elvish roots might present itself in later Vanyarin dialects. Instead of that, let's pit Sindarin against Quenya in an ultimate battle showdown to see which is more useful in the average fanfiction story. And let's begin with a very quick reference guide: If you write Second or Third Age Elf fiction, always choose Sindarin. If you write pre-Second Age Elf fiction, it's probably better to choose Sindarin. Okay, that's a little absolute. Let's examine these scenarios in greater detail, starting with a brief overview of the two languages. Quenya is the language spoken by the Noldor and Vanyar in Aman. While the Noldor did bring their language back to Middle-earth with them at the start of the First Age, it was not adopted by the locals. Instead, the Noldor preferred to learn Sindarin. When Thingol learned of the kinslaying at Alqualondë, he passed a ban on Quenya, but only in his own realm. Quenya became forbidden in Doriath; not so elsewhere. Thingol's ban would not have affected the language the Noldor used among themselves in their own homes.

In the recent production of Brian Friel’s masterpiece, Dancing at Lughnasa, at the University of New Hampshire, we see dialect play a significant role in the differentiation between characters, how it shapes them, bonds them, and how it separates them from each other (Friel, 2013). From the ideolects of the sisters to the changed dialect of their brother, Father Jack, and the Welshman hiding from himself, Gerry Evans, we see that character is influenced by dialect and dialect reflects character.

Their language contains numerous ele- ments of Elvish origin. Exact lexical correspondences between Adûnaic and Elv- ish languages (especially Quenya and Sindarin) seem to suggest that according to Tolkien’s idea the Adûnaic language represented a member of the Elvish language family in the linguistic world of Middle-Earth. The great English linguist John Ronald Reuel Tolkien (1892–1973) achieved world fame and wide recognition not through his scientifi c writings but thanks to his literary endeavors in the genre now commonly known as fantasy. In his books Tolkien created the fascinating world of the Middle-Earth, full of fabulous beings. It is populated not only with humans but also with other sapient creatures: elves, dwarves, hobbits, trolls, goblins and even intelligent wolves gifted with speech, ea- gles, bears and dragons. Each and every one of those species uses their proper and distinct language. Moreover specifi c tribes of elves, dwarves and men have their own languages and dialects – proof of their diverse ethnic, cultural and linguistic identity. Such a diversity of tribes and languages in Tolkien’s world brings to mind the multi-faceted variety of ethnicities and linguistic identities in our world. This resemblance seems to be a fully deliberate and conscious effort on the part of Tolkien who – let us keep this fact in mind – was after all a linguist, a professor of Old English at Oxford, the author of many academic works in this fi eld and a col- laborator of the Oxford English Dictionary.
