r/Tengwar

Hi there! This is a map of Beleriand I finished working on a few months ago. Drawing every little detail took AGES but in the end it was worth the effort.

The latin alphabet-writings are in Italian, my language, and I took the opportunity to change some names here and there in the translation from English in order to make them more accurate to the original.

The proportions of the landmasses are not 100% identical to those in the book, as I wanted to give more space to the norther-most regions.

The two trees, of course, are Laurelin and Telperion, the tengwar writings are a fan made (not by me) translation of the Oath of Fëanor in Quenya. The bottom right monogram represents my initials.

I’ve never posted anything in this subreddit, but I wanted to share this little creation with some people I know will appreciate it <3

I’ve been wanting to get a tattoo of the letters JMM in tengwar, but I’m not really sure if it’s right…. Some help pls?

Found etches on the side of a large metal bathtub in a brutalist-style modern mansion in Beverly Hills. Just made me curious!

Hey folks, I've taken up tengwar again after a (very) long hiatus. Been practicing for a couple weeks and finally got enough of a style that I thought I'd share a favourite song of mine with y'all. It's very much an orthographic mode, with some dips into phonemic as per the hesitant man of Gondor.

You'll notice I'm a fan of silme nurquerna for vowel carrying, and just write c as either a quesse or silme (nurquerna) depending on pronunciation. I just think it looks pretty 😀

Please let me know what you think, where I've made mistakes, and where I can improve 😀

sorry for it looking like that, im not an artist.

i tried to make a design with two words, with one hidden, what do you read?

Probably poor quality with my shit camera. I don’t believe it’s black speech. But hey, maybe? Lol. I was pretty drunk.

If anyone could shed light on the words there I’d be grateful. Thank you.

LoTR has been to me personally a story of addiction. I’ve really been going through it with that. Going to rehab tomorrow.

DEAAAAATH! From Theodin. Phew. It’s my peace of mind.. that’s got to be fucked. Anyways, I hope everyone is having a lovely day.

Hello all!

I am looking to get the name Dagmor (Beren's sword as named in the Lay of Leithian) etched into a sword. As the sword is an Albion and is quite expensive, I don't want to make a mistake!

I have checked with the online translation tools but I wanted to consult the group here since I still wasn't sure.

I got a few different transcriptions back from the different tools. I also saw that there was an option for Beleriand specific Sindarin? This would presumably be the correct one for this particular sword/inscription right?

Any help appreciated.

I’m starting to learn Tengwar and for a start I decided to transliterate the Lament for the Rohirrim using English mode. I used the Tecendil handbook and omniglot.com as reference, then I found a previously transcribed version here as well as plugged it into Tecendil to have two versions to check against and I feel pretty good about my results. There were a few things I struggled with (like remembering which R to use) and the few differences between the Reddit pot and the Tecendil transcription seem like either personal preference or maybe Tecendil default limitations. I was hoping to get some feedback here for any changes or alterations you might suggest and why. Thanks in advance!

Folded from a 15cm square.

I keep finding opposing opinions on it. My question is- is this “Elendil”?

Edit: You guys are awesome, thank you!

Hello all,

Please may I check if the following is the correct translation of the following line please? 'Even the smallest person can change the course of the future'

In development, I guess, until it is good enough.

What do you think is written?

Hello all, I'd need some help with engraving for two wedding bands. I've been trying to find two words "kitten" and "monkey" and i will be putting results I'm getting. As I never went too deep into the topic I'd like some advice.
