Pronunciation

Jon Brent #2758

Hi all! I'm singing some elvish with my chorus as part of the Music of the LOTR and beyond, I've been a bit outspoken and stated that the 'th' is pronounced as a soft 't' - am I wrong? I certainly have a feel for the tongue, it has a latin/welsh feel to it (my sword is also called Orelinda)

Any pointers greatly appreciated - the directors piano rehearsal is next tuesday!

"Th" in both Quenya and Sindarin is pronounced like the "th" in nothing.

it has a latin/welsh feel to it

Yes, it should. Quenya is based upon Finnish, and Sindarin upon Welsh.

Quenya is based upon Finnish, and Sindarin upon Welsh.

Probably more accurate to say "inspired in part by" than "based upon."
