Conlang bio: Sindarin

Conlang bio: Sindarin | Language: Sindarin; History: Sindarin was created to be a "sister language" to Quenya. While many words are obvious cognates, the two languages are mutually unintelligible. It originally was called Goldogrin (Gnomish), because it was the language that the gnomes (later to be called the Noldor) spoke while in Beriliand. After Tolkien's death, it was further developed by linguist David Salo for the Lord of the Rings movies. Creator: J. R. R. Tolkien; Purpose: While I can get no solid evidence for this, I believe Tolkien created Sindarin after he started work on The Silmarillion, so he could create a more realistic linguistic environment for Quenya. Example: A Elbereth Gilthoniel, silivren penna míriel o menel aglar elenath! (O Queen of stars who kindleth them, the firmament slants down, it's stary host shimmering like jewels!) | image tagged in black blank,lord of the rings,language | made w/ Imgflip meme maker

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! (Hail, Eärendil, brightest of angels!) | image tagged in black blank,lord of the rings,language | made w/ Imgflip meme maker

Conlang bio: River City Clan

Conlang bio: River City Clan | History: River City Clan is a language spoken by, funnily enough, the River City Clan, who were a group of Neanderthals living in the stone age in the book The Spirit Well, by Stephen R. Lawhead. It has an extremely limited vocabulary, since the Clan usually communicated via telepathy. Language: River City Clan; Creator: Stephen R. Lawhead; Purpose: within the story, the language acts as a means by which Kit Livingstone communicates with the River City Clan, since he doesn't share their telepathic abilities. Example: En-ul e-na (The Old One drinks water) | image tagged in black blank,language | made w/ Imgflip meme maker
