Tengwar Transcription

I’m sure most of you are getting sick of all the “stupid” Tengwar stuff.  Sorry.  I’m absolutely fascinated by it, and have been spending almost all of my free time lately learning how to read and write it.  I’m thinking of posting a translation every now and then, and seeing if people can figure it out.  It’s a way for me to practice, and get experts to give me feedback on whether I did it correctly or not.

This is my first lengthy Tengwar transcription of an English paragraph, which is in a practice Reader.  It’s done in English Common Mode:

A lengthy Tengwar transcription

In English, it reads:

In winter, he walked in mid-afternoon, the warmest time of the day.  In summer, he was up before dawn, walking before the air got as hot and wet as a crock pot.  In winter, he saw the school buses deliver children to the street corners.  In summer, he saw the papers getting delivered.

OK… no more Tengwar stuff for a while.  Not until I get confident enough in my abilities to start posting more examples.

Hi

Me and my new husband want to get matching tattoos plus he wants my name as well. Thats where I get stuck. Please please please can you help me with the translation of my name Laura into Tengwar?

I look forward to hearing from you.

Hi Laura, like I mentioned in a previous comment, it’s been too long since I translated anything into Tengwar for me to feel comfortable sending you anything. You should visit Torsten Renk and ask him. He’s very good at it.

Good luck!

Can anyone help? I have been trawling the web sites to try to get a sindarin translation of my sons name with a view to getting a tatoo. My sons name is Rohan Dodds-Crouth. Can anyone either translate this or tell me where I can find a site that can!!!

Katy's gravatar Katy United States September 25, 2006

If you would be so kind as to translate something for me. Preferably by tomorrow or the next day. The needs are as follows:

‘Derilect Serenity’
and.. ‘Tempestuous Desire’

Thanks much.

Thanks a lot, Diane

hey i need help i can write in tengwar, but is speaking the elvish language a whole different thing? i am trying to learn how to speak like aragorn and legolas and the elves, i to have been spending free time on the elvish language, help me. my email adress is not working right now if you know the answer to my question just post it please

Chris's gravatar Chris United States April 9, 2007

Yes, speaking a language is different than knowing how to write in one. I don’t speak Sindarin or Quenya, so I can’t help you.

An acquaintance from back in the day could probably help you though. She goes by Taramiluiel on the Web. She has a couple sites you could check out:

Tome of Middle-earth
Taramiluiel and Thoronog’s home
