Conlang bio: Quenya

Conlang bio: Quenya | Conlang bio; Language: Quenya; Creator: J. R. R. Tolkien; History: First conceptions were written down in a journal that Tolkien kept with him while serving in WW1. He later revised it multiple times, trying to get it to sound "right". Unfortunately, he died before he could finish it. Purpose: Originally just for fun, but Tolkien later assigned it to the elves of Middle-Earth to speak it. Example: Aiya, Eärendil, elenion ancalima!

Nice and so true!! Quick Q, is this a judgment-free zone concerning languages because I've created a few, silly things for stories but they are by no means on the level of perfection as Quenya or Sindarin

Don't worry. Even if all you have is a couple words and a basic grammar, don't feel bad about sharing it. Who knows, you might get some ideas from someone on how to develop it further!

Mistranslation: Elenion means, "stars", not, "angels". Sorry about that.
