THE LORD OF THE RINGSHis first intention was to create fictional languages. But, Tolkien noticed very soon that a language can not exist without a history. So he created a history, a mythology, and a whole world around his languages. The plot is seated in the fictional world called Middle-earth. The term's origin lies in a translation of the Middle English "middel-erde" which developed from Old English middangeard or Old Norse Midgard. Take a look at some links concerning Elven languages: Elven Languages, Ardalambion, or The Elvish Linguistic Fellowship. If you want to learn elvish here is a Dictionary. Try to TeX in Elvish with Elvish Fonts. Furthermore the mythology has become complex enough to become a topic at university called Tolkienology. Take a look at Mythus which is a side with comparative mythology with an emphasis on J.R.R. Tolkien. The book has been adopted by Peter Jackson into a movie trilogy lordoftherings.net which had a fantastic receive by the fans. Here is a (small) link list into the Middle Earth web community | |||||||||
