Now, you want to become an awesome silven elf ? What about Speaking Elf ? It's not as hard as it sound, (I promise) give it a try !
J.R.R Tolkien created many languages for the Elves. His interest was primarily philogical, and he said his stories grew out of his languages. The languages were the first thing Tolkien created for his mythos. To put it in an other way : you cannot completely enjoy Tolkien's work without an understanding (even tiny) of his invented languages.
The two main Elven languages are :
- Quenya, the language of the High Elves, the Noldor and the Vanyar ; it is the language proeminent in The Lord of the Ring as well as in The Hobbit.
I would recommend you to start with Quenya, so that you can exercice with the lines of the elves in Peter Jackon's movies , and what's more wich is really enjoyable due to the musicality of its words.
