Elvish as a Language

topic posted Thu, July 28, 2005 - 10:08 AM by  Caelin
As far as I know there is no actual elvish Language, but everybody likes to speak the dialect of lunacy created by that Author, JRR Tolken. The word Kalean/how ever you would spell it/(kay-lyn) it means Young Student/Prince/Mentor/Elf/One? It's basic meaning is "One who has more before him/her than behind him/her"
Are there any other Elvish words that anybody can find?

    Light

    The word 'light' is in the oldest elvish language (Quenya) defined as
    'cala'. Later dialects (Sindarin) called light sometimes 'calad' or the
    popular 'galad'. If it shall mean "bright light' you have to say 'gail'.

      the only thing i can tell you is what i've been told by elves and fairies themselves... and that is that there is a common ancient 'angelic' language that is the mother language of all languages and their languages are a diversion of this root language.

        I too recieved this "truth" I have taken onto myself to start studying languages to find it. It is part of the truth that I saw that everything we see here today is a result of the path that the elves lay before their feet and we as their decendants still follow.

          i believe that we can trace it to sanskrit or perhaps other elder languages of that area.... i've also been told that sanskrit is a derivative of the angelic language....ah, who knows?

          The closest language I know to the old Elven is the trade language used in the Caucasus called E'lal.
          I haven't found it written in books other then my grandfathers diaries, just spoken... Though Armenian is close.
          Will let you know if I find a close cognate on a website.

          Peace,

    If you want to go by Tolkien, I highly recommend a little book called "The Languages of Tolkien's Middle Earth" by Rught S. Noel.

    Very helpful.
