Strictly speaking, two: Ómatehtar and Full or Beleriand Mode. Many modes for non-Tolkien languages (English, Spanish, German, Swedish, etc.) exist outside of the original lore.

What is the alphabet for elvish?

The elvish alphabet can be found here - http://www.starchamber.com/paracelsus/elvish/elvish-in-ten-minutes.htmlIt's called Tengwar, the Quenya (one of the Elvish languages) word for symbols.


Can you translate into elvish?

Yes, actually there is this type of writting called "Tengwar", used and created by Tolkien. There is also the Feanorian script, and a lengthy list of words in the back of the Silmarillion. In theory it would be possible to read and speak elvish, but although a brilliant creation, it is not a fully functioning language(s). See the Appendixes to the Lord of the Rings, the Silmarillion, and the Histories of Middle-earth for more information.But, if you wish to not just learn the writing system, but actually learn one of the Elvish languages (Sindarin or Quenya), then there are many online, free-to-download courses online. Try Pedin Edhellen for Sindarin, or Quetin i Lambe Eldaiva for Quenya.

What is the language that the elf's speek in lord of the rings?

The language of Middle Earth is referred to by Tolkien as 'the common tongue'. For ease of the reader, all of the Common Tongue was written in English or the language the book has been translated into. You will also find several varieties of Elvish, dwarvish (no examples in the book, other than place names) and the Black Speech, and other lost languages. Much more information can be found in the Appendices of The Lord of the Rings.

How do you spell Legolas Greenleaf in Elvish?

If you do mean Tengwar, the link below shows an image of the symbols of how to write it.That question is not readily answerable, as there are several scripts used by the Elves (although you probably mean Tengwar), and those scripts again have several different modes of writing depending on when, where, and by whom it was written. I would suggest further research, or to ask in a reliable forum etc. However (as it is apparently a not so uncommon error): do not try to type "Legolas" and convert it to a Tengwar/etc computer font, as this only results in gibberish.NOTE: Legolas (Silvan), Laegolas (Sindarin), Greenleaf (English), so Legolas already is Elvish.


Why would the script on the one ring have been written in Elvish if it was created by Sauron?

It was written in Tengwar, the universal scripture in Middle-Earth (except for Khuzdul - the dwarves used runes). The words themselves are in the Black Tongue:Ash nazg durbatulûk, ash nazg gimbatul,Ash nazg thrakatulûk agh burzum-ishi krimpatul.so not in Sindarin or Quenya, and transcribed using a mode different from the Elvish Full or Beleriand Modes.

If you really are all for learning Elvish, there are two possible choices for you:SindarinQuenyaBoth are Elvish languages that have extensive online courses for you.But, if you want to learn Tengwar, the Elvish writing system along with it, this format isn't going to work for you, so, get the PDF file by going to google.com and typing in 'Pedin Edhellen' (the name for the Sindarin course), and clicking [PDF] on the result that says 'Pedin Edhellen a Sindarin course'.Both Pedin Edhellen and Quetin i Lambe Eldaiva are written by Thorsten Renk, one of the most reliable Elvish language teachers that I know of.
