Heavy Rs are indeed a feature of Sindarin and Quenya.

Yeah, but is it supposed to sound like that, or like a heavy R spoken by people who's languages naturally have it? What I'm really asking is that did Tolkien have an accent when speaking his own languages?

I don't think you're suppose to roll the Rs. That might be Tolkien.

If you want a good idea, listen to Finnish and Welsh. They respectively inspired Quenya and Sindarin.

Though the pronounciation has similarities, Quenya is definately "softer" than Finnish, with sounds like θ in proper Quenya, shorter long vowels, and smoother long consonants. Quenya only sounds like Finnish when spoken with a Finnish accent.

I'm just saying it since it is on record stated that those are the languages that inspired the two elven tongues.

Is there a dank jewtube channel that plays lore? I vaguely heard about Morgoth's Ring on here and I can't find anything about it. Hook me up with some soothing Tolkein lore that I can go to sleep to.

This is a reminder, that Sauron did nothing wrong - he has been maligned by the narcoterrorist gang led by Gandalf.

"Enough, halfling!" Boromir™ said after some time. "I'll not

debate thy strange and decidedly post-medieval political views with thee.

Know then, that thou hast been most foully deluded and cozened by the base

lies of Sauron."

"Liar!" Sam flung back. "I know for a fact that you're a

narcoterrorist and an accomplice of Gandalf the Gruesome. And I'm

Lenindil, the Heir of Isildur!"

Presently there was another knock at the door, quiet,

but portentous. As Sam opened the door, he beheld a legion

of female Orcs, fawning all over none other than the dread

Sauron in person. Sam easily recognized him from the

portraits he had seen, but yet more from the sinister menace

of his urbanity, the elegant veneer of malignancy that

concealed a fundamental dorkiness. Sauron waved a gloved

hand, and the Orcs vanished.

In the Shelob nightclub:

"So many female admirers," he sighed. "A wise

loremaster once pointed out that we males are not naturally

monogamous. Having used the Ring, I'm sure you know what

it's like. I am pleased to meet you," he continued in a

pleasant, yet insidious, baritone, recalling the refined

accents of Sideshow Bob. "We were so worried that those

narcoterrorists might have done something nasty to you. The

Western part of my domain isn't as safe as I would like; too

close to Gondor™. I am Sauron the Great, at your

service."

Sam smiled grimly, before asking Sauron, "What's it

wairth tae ye?"

"What do you mean?" inquired Sauron.

"Dinnae be sae Foucauldian. I ken ye wants the Ring.

Mak us an offer, or we'll do nocht, and say nocht."

Sauron laughed a sonorous laugh. Spiegel began to find

him almost more irresistable than Gorbush.

"Oh, the Ring!" he smiled. "We can talk about

that later. Though I wouldn't use it if I were you; it was

really only meant for Maiar. And whatever you do, don't drop

it into Mt. Viagra, or Gandalf and his evil allies will take

over the world and enslavePost too long. Click here to view the full text.

I assume some of you here already… Know.

Sorry if this ruins anyone's life, or leads you on a dark path. Sorry if it disenchants you from Tolkien's work. This curious underneath of Tolkien's work is what drew me into his Hermetic Dreamworld in the first place, I sought truth before my premature death 3 years ago and I found some unbelievable truth (About his work and our world, together). Beware though, this is also an inward journey.

I really enjoyed watching this guy's lectures so I thought I'd share it. He covers LotR and The Silmarillion. He seems to know a lot of Old English so he makes some cool observations such as the "Ang" in Angband being the anglo saxon word for iron.

>they're all pretty much the same.

Not true at all. That's actually a problem. There's a lot of conflicting sources in Tolkien maps, but the highest source, the Simarillion and LotR printed maps, are actually just a tad incomplete, so a lot of people take to filling the gaps based on prose.

Has anyone here really studied and learned Tengwar or Kazad?

I know that are some websites devoted to it and some shit like that, but for the more normal people, does anyone really went that deep?

I remember being able to write my name and some small phrases, never truly memorized the whole alphabet.

Like most faggots I've taken to learn elvish tongues. Although I love better how quenya rolls out of the tongue, since I'm using "silvan" tongues on my D&D games, I've found myself practicing sindar way more.
