	Quenya - the Ancient Tongue
		Quenya or High-elven is the most prominent language of the Amanya branch of the Elvish language family.
		Quenya was the ultimate experiment in euphony and phonaesthetics, and according to the taste of many, it was a glorious success.
		Quenya also has an extended infinitive which adds the ending -ta; when added to the infinitive of a basic verb, its ending -ë instead appears as -i-: While the simplest infinitive of the verb car- "to do, to make" is carë, its extended infinitive is thus carita.

	Quenya - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Quenya is one of the languages spoken by the Elves in the works of J.
		Quenya is one of many constructed languages introduced over the years by science fiction and fantasy writers, some others being Klingon, Newspeak, Nadsat, the Ascian language and Lapine.
		Quenya used by fans for post-Tolkien composition of poems and texts, phrases and names, is usually nicknamed neo-Quenya, or Quenya Vinyakarmë (Q. for "neologism") by scholars, in order to prevent the confusion that authentic Quenya can be used practically.

	Quenya Course
		What it does presuppose is a deep and serious interest on the part of the student, for this course does not aim to present only Quenya grammar as such, but also much of the underlying reasoning and deduction by which our present knowledge of Quenya has been meticulously extracted from the primary sources.
		I do try to present the structure and grammar of Quenya in an attractive fashion, but the student must have no fear of "technicalities"; this course is all about technicalities.
		If you want to "learn Quenya" simply because you would like to coin a few cool Elvish names to be used in role-playing, chances are that you are in no way prepared to delve into the amount of information here presented.

		In this article he translated several common first names in Quenya (a High Elven language, a speech of the Noldor and Vanyar).
		As the interest in Tolkien languages (in particular in Quenya) grew, more people wanted to have their names translated into Quenya.
		Sometimes we can find help in The Qenya Lexicon, the earliest Quenya dictionary, but the words from the Lexicon are usually obscure, because Tolkien kept changing the structure of his beloved Quenya and its early form (usually called Qenya) is somewhat different to the Quenya as recorded in, say, Namárie.

	Quenya - Langmaker (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Quenya, a professional fictional language, was developed by J.R.R. Tolkien in 1917.
		Descended from Primitive Elvish, Quenya is the chief of Tolkien's Elvish languages, used mainly in The Lord of The Rings and The Silmarillion.
		Unfortunately, it was never a primary goal of Tolkien's to finish the design of Quenya, and his death left the vocabulary and grammar incomplete.

		However when Thingol of Doriath, who was the king of the Sindar (silvan-Elves that stayed in Middle-earth all along) learnt about their slaying of the Teleri, he forbade the use of Quenya between his people and the Noldor, and forced them to communicate in Sindarin only.
		In our times, Quenya has a few publications of greater or lesser officiality, the more important being "Vinyar Tengwar" and "Parma Eldalamberon".
		A good course in Quenya grammar can be found at Ardalambion.

		These would be writings written by the Noldor during their exile, after their language had diverged slightly from Amanian Quenya (in particular by the loss of the accusative case): "Exilic conditions...made necessary the writing down anew from mermory of many of the pre-Exilic works of lore and song" (PM:332).
		Quenya was the ultimate experiment in euphony and phonoaestetics, and according to the taste of many, it was a glorious success.
		Quenya as spoken in Valinor had an accusative that was formed by lengthening the final vowel of the noun: cirya"ship" (nominative), ciryá"ship" (accusative).

	Galadisian Quenya - NSwiki (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Galadisian Quenya is a dialect of the High-Elven language of Quenya spoken in The Socialist Commonwealth of Caras Galadon.
		The ancient Quenya began its transformation in Galadisian Quenya at the time of the founding of The Empire of Greater Lothlorien.
		Men and Elves agreed to use Ancient Quenya as the official tongue of the empire because to the Elves it retained all the qualities of being Elvish but at the same time it had a much simpler grammatical structure and was much easier for Men to learn to speak.

		However when Thingol of Doriath, who was the king of the Sindar (elves of the Telerin line who remained in Beleriand instead of journeying to Valinor) learnt about their slaying of the Teleri, he forbade the use of Quenya between his people and the Ñoldor, and forced them to communicate in Sindarin only.
		The most striking feature of Quenya is that it is a higly agglutinated language, meaning that words are regularly modified (usually by means of a suffix) to express gramatical function.
		It is quite normal for one Quenya word to have the same meaning as an entire english sentence, for example, one could say "they will have seen it" in Quenya in a single word.

	Summary of the Quenya Grammar
		Quenya has several cases, states of the noun that can indicate, for example, something belongs to someone or where something is. The cases actually tell us what the function of a word in a sentence is.
		Quenya does not know any of such words, but indicates the same as these words do through putting an ending to a noun.
		There are 9 Quenya cases of which we more or less know clearly what they stand for.

		In FS the Quenya passive is the passive participle with "be": thus "be" (nowadays 'ea' and 'na') need a full set of tenses, and nouns need an agentive case unless instrumental is usable.
		If I remember rightly, in the Quenya tengwar we have, there are no historical spellings, other than the use of o're for final R and ro'men for initial; and that isn't historical, but is presumably (in 3rd Age Q) an allophonic distinction using the graphemes for what were once distinct phonemes.
		X-Keywords: Quenya, nouns, plurals, cases X-Message-Number: 3.89 This experiment by Tolkien at '-in' instead of '-ar' and '-er' as nom/acc plural may also have been to avoid confusion with the short locative '-r' (rhotacized version of the Plotz Letter '-s') which occurs in 1930's Quenya.

		Quenya is an artificial language created by the English philologist and author of "The Lord of the Rings", "The Hobbit", etc., J.R.R. Tolkien (1892-1973).
		The native language of the High Elves, Quenya was inspired by Finnish and Latin.

		Quenya is clearly a language of its own, even though it owes much to its models such as Finnish.
		Quenya and Finnish are both like this in principle, but neither is a pure agglutinative language.
		Spoken Quenya is also likely to sound unfamiliar because of its different placement of stress: it follows a rule similar to that of Latin, while Finnish always has stress on the first syllable.

		Quenya ist die Elbensprache mit dem einfachsten und elegantesten System der Repräsentation von Lauten durch Buchstaben.
		Der bei weitem häufigste Vokal im Quenya ist das A; deshalb gibt es eine alternative Schreibweise, bei der der kurzes A gar nicht geschrieben wird, sondern implizit angenommen wird, ähnlich wie in den indischen Schriften.
