WAit guys.. I just had a brilliant Idea. We have some really smart people in here together. If we took 5, or maybe 10 of us together, we could make our OWN language.. a good one too. No simple code, a language. Well anyone with me? I propose RabK and Grimbold to be in the group, as well as Cspace and myself, and a few of our other intelligentlemen

| Umm... Cspace? I looked at your dictionary... Personally, I think it's a bunch of hogwash (no offense). Where in the world did you get this nonsense??? It's obviously not Tolkien (or at least no dialect that is known to me). Might I suggest Quenya? It is the most popular of the Tolkine languages, which are by far the most popular Elvish languages... Just FYI... Here's a link Ardalambion. It contains an extensive dictionary for Quenya, along with complete lessons for learning it. It also contains analysis of poems and such, along with many other dialects of Elvish. Regardless, this is the best site for Tolkien Elvish out there today. Again, no offense, but your "Elvish" is not very good. [insert subliminal messages to use Quenya here] Upon further examination, I see you've pieced together various languages from various sources. BAD. As an example, you listed "Namárië" without any accents, and it's defn. as "Well met", when it means "farewell". Get with the program, my man. I realize you've probably put a lot of work into this, but it's sub-par at best. Namárië, ~Grimbold |
In the beginning I stated that the dictionary is of a variety of dialects, though it is organized by the sites they came from. I did not mix them together, but separated them based on their sources. I posted the words for basic use, not to be spoken in sentences necessarily (like having code words). I do in fact know that some came from Tolkien though. Please don't judge the list since I'm not considering it final.
As for the use I was thinking of, since few seem to understand, is like this:
For a battle (if another war would come up) we could use words for commands. Before it begins (in a secret location) we could tell everyone a few important words to be familiar with. If needed, the commander could yell the words to everyone.
One could request assistance, where scouts and others could PM SeeDs outside the wilderness. Another could signify a change in position, like "Fall back!" or "Target *name*". With doing this, I intended one word that could not be understood, not complete sentences or even a series of words. For this use, a dictionary like we have would work fine. Regardless though, I have not yet completed it.

- I meat to double post, and as usual, defenestrate me if you wish -
The site which Grimbold linked to is very good. I plan to divide our Elvish section into two parts: The current one (mixed) for codes, since it can't be interpreted as easily, and one for speaking if anyone is interested. The speaking part will be of the main dialects, while the code section will not be easily interpreted (better for what I was thinking of for SeeD).
Anyway, I plan to update that section fairly soon.

Uhh... Can you say Defenestration in Elvish??
I like the idea, might be confusing actually... Knowing me, "Target *name*, I would be the stupid tourist saying "Spam on *name*"
Anywho, I don't have pointy ears, don't count on me learning another language

| If any of you know of FFX (or the sequel), you would know about Al Bhed. It's a simple dialect once you know how. It could be used of all else fails... |
This is an awesome idea, although Al Bhed would be easy to crack, we could swap it round a bit - here's the proper Al Bhed alphabet:
A - E N - R
B - P O - Y
C - S P - B
D - T Q - W
E - I R - H
F - W S - M
G - K T - D
H - N U - O
I - U V - F
J - V W - X
K - G X - Q
L - C Y - A
M - L Z - G
Al Bhed on the left, from Al Bhed Translator, there is also a type-in translator there.
Another idea I had was to reverse it, i.e. English on the left.
