For knowers of the languages in LotR
 

I'm on the process of making a dagger, and I would like to engrave something on the blade who would say: Dark whisper is my name. All ye who encounter my blade, abandon hope. :devilbat:

The thing is: I would like to write it in Valarin, but I don't find any site with a english/valarin dictionnary. Could someone help me?

If I don't find anything, I will write it in black speech or Sindarin, but I prefere Valarin.

thank you! :)

I very much doubt you'll find Valarin. I don't think Tolkien even worked it out, he just wrote that their was one. Your best bet is to go with Sindarin. Try http://www.councilofelrond.com for some Sindarin phrases, and you could ask their for help, or even do their language courses if you're truly dedicated.

A Dwarvish runic design would be cool on a blade, or a Viking design, though they are very similar.

Elan-> thanks for the link. Maybe sindarin is better than valarin, after all...
Beren-> I thought of a runic design, I have a book on those northern-german pictographs but I think they aren't as decorative as Tengwar script.

http://tolkien.cro.net/mearth/tolklang/valarin.html <<<< here's the only site I've seen with it. I would think quenya would be your best bet. :)

Thank you sorcha, but I think i'll do with sindarin. after all, isn't sindarin the language of Nobles? :)

Re: For knowers of the languages in LotR
 

Oooo...I thought it was quenya...must look that up....

Ah, here we go...http://www.councilofelrond.com/modul...id=&pn_id=6602

Quenya, it says was the language of the Valar. Also called High Elven. :)

Here is the article on Sindarin: http://www.councilofelrond.com/modul...id=&pn_id=6667

I found a great online translator! http://www.jrrvf.com/hisweloke/sindar/

So I don't know if it is right, but it gave me: Nîn esta-doll ihoss. Awartha-estel, ai govanno-nîn hathol

thanks to everyone! :)

I'm book marking this whole page.

Elan, where are the elvish courses on your link?

Re: For knowers of the languages in LotR
 

curunir-> I think you have to suscribe...

Re: For knowers of the languages in LotR
 

Balrog, do you know if it costs any money or anything to subscribe?

Re: For knowers of the languages in LotR
 

Nevermind I see that it doesn't take any money.

Re: For knowers of the languages in LotR
 

I didn't suscribe, anyway, so I wouldn't be able to help you...

If you want to follow courses on quenya, you should go to that website: http://www.uib.no/People/hnohf/

Re: For knowers of the languages in LotR
 

It doesn't cost anything. The workbooks on CoE are excellent...I'm studying them myself. I didn't know you had to register...it didn't used to be that way.
