		The Tengwar script is a system of consonantal signs without strictly fixed values; their glyphic structure comprises a matrix of potential phonetic relationships, rather than a set of fixed relationships between sound and character.
		Tengwar numerals are written from right-to-left (the least significant digit is on the left).
		Tengwar punctuation characters are considered to be unique to the script and are coded in the Tengwar block.

	Tengwar research (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Tengwar was a writing system devised by J.R.R. Tolkien for "Lord of the Rings" and his other writings set in Middle-Earth.
		Tengwar is a phonetic system, where each symbol represents a sound, rather than a letter, and the symbols are organized in groups based on the types of sound.
		It is theorized that it was perhaps the name of one of the primary Elven architects of the original Tengwar, and that the mode is thus "Non-Tolkienian" because the mode for Common speech is such a departure from strict phonetic writing.

	Tengwar
		All of the primary letters were composed of (at least) two elements: a vertical stem or "Telco" (representing air) and a curved bow or "Luva" (representing voice).
		Tengwar became a very flexible writing system that was easily adapted by many different races to their languages.
		Tengwar fonts are available for most personal computer platforms.

	Tengwar - The Lord of the Rings Wiki
		In his works, the Tengwar script, supposedly invented by Fëanor, was used to write a number of the languages of Middle-earth, including Quenya and Sindarin.
		It features many tengwar shapes, the inherent vowel [a] found in some tengwar varieties, and the tables in the samples V12 and V13 show an arrangement that is very similar to the one of the primary tengwar in the classical Quenya "mode".
		The tengwar were probably developed in the late 1920s or in the early 1930s.

	Amanye Tenceli: The Tengwar
		The Tengwar was strongly influenced by Rúmil’s Sarati (until then the only existing writing system), but just as Rúmil has incorporated the contemporary philological ideas in his creation, so Feanor devised his writing system according to his own theories.
		It was then decided that tengwar whose telcor and lúvar were organized a particular way represented a certain group of related sounds: the telcor determined how the sound was articulated, and the lúvar where in the mouth it was made.
		The two grades of tengwar with extended stems were usually not included, since they were regarded as variant forms of the tengwar with raised stems (grade 3 and 4).

	Phonetic tehtar for English
		In the Tengwar writing system there are 24 standard consonant letters, each of which may be modified by one of the accents called tehtar (signs) which represent vowel sounds.
		The way that tengwar are mapped to English consonants is well developed, but there is a fair amount of variation in the methods of using tehtar to represent English vowel sounds.
		My use of Tengwar is fairly standard and follows the Tengwar textbook common mode with just a couple of minor exceptions - the letter uunque is not required to represent the gh in words such as aghast, nor is the vertically extended ungwe required for the silent gh in bought.

		Raymond's proposal to use Tengwar for writing Lojban, which is mentioned in Chapter 3 of the Lojban reference grammar.
		After a rough summary of the Tengwar and presentation of the letter tables, I shall disgress in some considerations on writing, before going on further in the work of adapting the Tengwar to Lojban.

	More on Tengwar — Vodka Pomme
		Fëanor has designed the tengwar (also called, by the way, Fëanorian letters) to be a phonemic writing system: each sign, each letter represents a sound (or phoneme), linking very closely the spoken and written forms of utterances.
		A given correspondance table between the tengwar and the phonemes is called a mode; several modes have been created to suit the needs of the different languages of Tolkien's mythology (including English), but many of the tengwar are often used for the same phonemes.
		The base tengwar didn't however prove sufficient, and therefore several additional tengwar were designed to represent more sounds, while often being used quite differently by the different modes.

	Tengwar Script for English
		Tengwar uses a bar or a sign looking like the Spanish "tilde" (~) above a consonant to indicate a "nasal" sound before another consonant; sounds such as "nt" and "mp" are represented this way.
		One problem seriously affecting the Tengwar affects all attempts at spelling reform in English, as mentioned in the page on the perils of English spelling.
		For now, I will follow the Tengwar character set appearing in the Registry, but I hope that some of the other characters that I have added will be included.

	The Tengwar for Esperanto
		This paper describes a mode of the Tengwar of Feanor adapted for the writing of the artificial language Esperanto.
		In studying what follows, it is particularly important to remember that in any given mode the Tengwar consonants form a phonetic grid in which alterations in form correspond to alterations in sound in a predictable way.
		The basic facts we need to begin constructing a Tengwar mode for any given language are (a) a phoneme inventory, and (b) whether its basic syllables are "closed" (consonent-ended, like English and Tolkien's Westron) or "open" (vowel-ended, like Italian or Tolkien's Quenya).

		Tengwar Annatar is a tengwar font, or rather a type family with four styles: regular, italic, bold and bold italic.
		Tengwar Annatar makes use of the encoding devised by Daniel S. Smith, and should therefore be more or less compatible with other fonts using this encoding.
		Tengwar Annatar is available as eight TrueType fonts, which are all distributed in a compressed zip-file together with the documentation in PDF format.

	la tenguar: A romantic orthography for Lojban
		For what follows it is particularly important to remember that in any given mode the Tengwar consonants form a phonetic grid in which alterations in form correspond to alterations in sound in a predictable way (if you will, this is `audio-visual isomorphism' extended to the letter-form level).
		The Lojban tengwar mode I have described should enable Lojban to be written more compactly and beautifully than the Roman alphabet permits (VV-form cmavo, for example, will look like the morphemic atoms they are).
		Most of the letter tengwar (that is, the non-tehtar characters) are implicitly named by the lerfu they are equivalent to.

	Tengwar
		The oldest Elvish alphabet was the "Tengwar of Rúmil".
		In the earliest forms of the Tengwar, vowel sounds were represented by symbols called: "Tehtar".
		This "full" form was developed by the Grey Elves living in Beleriand, and was therefore referred to as the "Mode of Beleriand".

	Eleni Aranelwa: Tutorials: Tengwar Modifiers and Shorthand
		There are examples of tengwar inscriptions which use a certain modifier or shorthand spelling once and then later in the same inscription spell it out or arrange it differently (see the title page to The Silmarillion).
		Assuming that this is already a lost cause (since most people don't read tengwar at all), you are probably going for elegance and artistry (or you just want it to look as cool as possible ;).
		What I have been using is most common in the tengwar writing community, though, and most likely to be understood.

	[No title]
		La escritura mediante Tengwar no es exactamente igual a la forma que tenemos de escribir actualmente, pues no hay una correspondencia directa entre nuestra escritura y los símbolos, aunque sí entre las Tengwar y los sonidos propios del lenguaje.
		Después de mucho tiempo investigando el empleo de las Tengwar, he llegado a la conclusión (creo que acertada) de que existen tres estilos básicos de escritura o empleo de las Tengwar, y cada uno depende de la lengua en la que está escrito el mensaje (Sindarin, Quenya o Lengua Común).
		Como último dato, señalar que una línea horizontal sobre consonante implica que a la misma le precede una nasal (da igual cuál es, la que sirva a nuestros propósitos) y, si va debajo (uso que sólo he apreciado en escritura en lengua común) significa normalmente que la vocal que vaya después será larga.
