Elfan Linguistics

Harold Vadney · 11-28-2005, 05:19 PM

Hello, All!

I'm new to the forum so please be patient with me and let me know if I make any blunders.

One of the reasons why I joined is because I am a linguist and I am interested in Elfan ... also because a friend of mine passed on a script and asked if I could identify the language ... I have a suspicion it may be Tengwar but I need some input from the 'experts'...You!

I will try to paste the text into this message but if it does not appear it can be viewed at
http://bmtconsult.home.att.net/TextEnquiry.html

I'd be grateful for any inputs and perhaps a translation if you can to hvadney@mhcable.com.

Thanks very much!

Harold

it looks like it, but is quite tough due to ledgibility... here a good place to start if you want to try and decipher

or maybe a better scan?

I thought the language was called "elvish", not "elfan"...
