elvish symbols

[Fool_of_a_Took]

I've always been very interested in the written sindarin language of Tolkien because it is so beautiful. Does anyone know a good website for translation where the english, elvish and symbolic are given? I'd really appreciate it :)

If you have the English one-book edition of The Lord of the Rings, there should be a short manual in the appendices at the back.

I don't know any websites of the top of my head, but let me link you to two older threads about writing in Elf-scripts that I believe had some useful links inside: Writing in Tengwar I (http://entmoot.tolkientrail.com/showthread.php?t=5568) and Writing in Tengwar II (http://entmoot.tolkientrail.com/showthread.php?t=13643).

Yes, I agree with checking out the Appendices first, and maybe see if you can get your hands on some of Tolkien's written examples too -- for instance like The Road Goes Ever On (Elvish examples), or, one of The History of Middle-Earth volumes titled Sauron Defeated includes what is called the King's Letter (English and Elvish), or even Tolkien's personal letters (the letter to Hugh Brogan for instance).

With respect to writing with the letters (as opposed to the runes) and the web, I like this site...

This should get you started anyway :)

thank you very much! :)

Provided information is informative because the two language variations with the most complete language and grammar are Quenya and Sindarin, High-elven and grey-elven respectively.
