61 Where can i learn more about Tolkien's languages?
One of Tolkien's primary motivations for creating Middle-earth and
its history was to provide a home for the languages that he invented.
The interest in those languages among his readers has given rise to
many books, journals, web sites, and other resources for those who wish
to learn them, and we could not even begin to list them here.
Perhaps the best list of such resources can be found at the Elvish
Linguistic Fellowship web site:

For actual details regarding the languages themselves, one of the best
web sites is Ardalambion, located at

A group of excellent Truetype fonts for writing in Tengwar and Cirth
(together with a good introduction to using those alphabets) can be
found at Dan Smith's Fantasy Fonts for Windows page:
