The Tengwar; An Introduction

2 years ago

This video was recorded during a small lecture I held over Discord, introducing the basic forms and function of the Tengwar script created by J.R.R. Tolkien. While the presentation goes through a fairly reasonable amount of information, there is yet more to be learned. The following are my primary sources of information from the presentation:
English Wikipedia (Because I'm a pro): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tengwar
The Tengwar Handbook from Tecendil: https://www.tecendil.com/tengwar-handbook/

If I made any noteworthy mistakes, feel free to share them in the comments.

This may also be the first instalment in a series about different aspects of linguistics, particularly regarding the languages of Arda and other fictional worlds.
