Check out the Elvish phrase book on Carus Publishing’s Web site. It’s left over from the December 2003 issue of Muse –forgotten but not gone.

Happy birthday to J.R.R. Tolkien, even though I’ve never read Lord of the Rings…

*says something in Elvish that you can’t hear but you know I said because you know that I know Elvish although you’ve never heard me speak it because I can’t*

*walks away, ignoring befuddled faces*

The very same.

If you want to learn even more about Elvish, the Fan Page has an online question-and-answer session with the movies’ Elvish expert, David Salo.

my second happy birthday is Welsh by the way, not Elvish. I know Tolkien liked the Welsh language so I wished him happy birthday in it.
