Why do people study Elvish Linguistics?
Because the languages and alphabets are so beautiful. Some people are interested in the languages for their use in games such as role-playing (see Other Hands (really slow to download lately) and the Guild Companion) while still others enjoy the intellectual challenge of linguistic study as a hobby or as an adjunct to work or university related research. Other people enjoy participating because most of the people who like Tolkien are very nice and its fun to hang out with them. And finally, many people feel that the Elvish languages are the only languages in which they can express their feelings of love, honour and duty, the beauty of moonlight on water, or the deep sorrow that they feel at the loss of friends, forests and homelands. But that last perspective might really shock people if it gets out, so we should probably just keep it a secret. Return Home.
