Well I don't know that much Elvish, but I think half of these phrases are Quenya and the other half Sindarin. I could be wrong, but don't those two languages have different pronounciations? |

Quenya and Sindarin do have different pronunciations....not to mention meanings. Some words in Sindarin mean something completely opposite in Quenya...as far as pronunciations...try downloading a program called "DragonFlame" it is an elvish language database that has pronunciations as well as meanings on it for...English, Sindarin, and Quenya.

One phrase is Sindarin (Mae govannen) and would be pronounced MAE (like rhyming with eye but instead of the dipthong ah + ee it's formed by ah + eh, said at once; it's a one syllable word) go (o as in for, without the R) VAHN nehn. The other phrases are all what studiers of Tolkien's languages sometimes call "Grelvish", as it is the language of the Grey Company (Tel'Mithrim) and not Tolkien's Elvish (it's basically Quenya and Sindarin words mixed together, ripped apart, new words invented, a simpler anglicized grammar, all mixed in a blender so it comes out barely recognizeable... if you read the fine print on their website they tell you it's not Tolkien's Elvish but theirs, which they like better). So I wouldn't know how to pronounce the others. |

Well, "lasta lalaithamin" would be prounounced (to my knowledge, not infallible of course. Actually not terribly extensive..  ) "LAHStah la laythe meen", if I'm not mistaken. I've found in when using elvish, I involuntarily use a deeper, more measured tone, almost reverently deep. Also, read pronunciations carefully. It will help you get the hang of it. You almost invariably end up speaking in a deeper, cultured, and more elegant tone. Such is the beauty of elvish!

-Auta miqula orqu AUtha miQhula ORqu -Mae govannen MAEH gohvanNEN -Lle ume quel LLE Ume QUel -Lasta lalaithamin LASta lalaithAMIN -Dolle naa lost Dolle NAA LOst This is the Quenya pronosions... But the words are both sindarin and quenya so i dont think this is really right ... All the BIGGS are like you pronouse them more ... it calls stress... Talk it like you should sing it under the moon , wispering
I am learning Quenya Mára mesta Regards : |
