quote: When J.R.R. Tolkien wrote the setting for the Lord of the Rings he crafted an entire world to go with it. Included in that world were the grammatical structure and a rudimentary dictionary for a number of Elven Tongues. Since we roleplay Elves online, we took that dictionary, simplified the grammatical structure and expanded the dictionary heavily. It is not cannon Elven as Tolkien wrote it, simply our own adaptation. Which we like better. Thank you very much
So not actually Tolkien Elvish....

But Grey Company elvish isn't authentic Tolkien elvish. It's known as Grelvish. The spellings and even pronounciacians(sp?) are different from Tolkien elvish. They're are plenty of real elvish sites out there, so I would suggest those if you want to learn real elvish...
plus some people aren't very nice in letting you know you aren't speaking real elvish...yes this comes from personal experience.

Sorry this is off topic, but: Aranel89, where does your signature come from? It cites Return of the King as the source, but I am not familiar with those lines.

Thorin, Aranel89's quote comes from the song "The End of All Things" by Renee Fleming. It was a song for the RotK movie.
