LINKS to other Elvish linguistic sites

First I must emphasize that this site is not meant to be a thorough lexicon, grammar survery or dictionary of Sindarin and Quenya. My interest in the Elvish tongues has originated mostly from the fact that I am a student of the ancient Greek and Latin languages. I have found out many interesting similarities between Greek, Latin and especially Sindarin, but I have not created this site as the work of a sholar. This is the work of a fan and should be considered as such.

For the visitor who wishes to find out more depth and detail of Sindarin and Quenya grammar, however, I have selected some excellent websites that provide dictionaries and grammar surverys of either or both tongues:

-
The Elvish Linguistic Fellowship

   This wonderful community of people who endeavour to master the Elvish tongues
   provides an amazing website where you can find all resources and links you need  
   when you strive for knowledge of either Quenya or Sindarin!

-
Ardalambion

   This is a fantastic website that covers nearly every grammatical aspect of the Tongues    of Arda. You will find surveys, analyses, background information and even lesson
   material for both Sindarin and Quenya! A must visit!
