Tengwar: Middle Tengwar
built 190 days ago
Tengwar became a very flexible writing system that was easily adapted by many different races to their languages. Unfortunately, since it was so flexible it was possible to have several different versions of it for each and every language. Also, over the centuries, a great deal of shorthand developed. Since Tengwar can be so easily modified, customized and mutated; most people in Middle-earth devised their own version.
The Tengwar script was invented by J.R.R. Tolkien and was published in his "Lord of the Rings" series and other works. Tengwar was used to write Quenya, Sindarin, Black Speech / Orkish, and other fictional languages of Middle-Earth. It can ... be used to write English and a variety of other languages of this Earth. Tengwar is a rich and complex writing system that highlights Tolkien's linguistic skills.
