Seanil - Elvish Revisited

Attached is the third draft of the the Elvish alphabet. C has been replaced by k and s. Ch remains due to it's distinctive sound. Q is pronounced kw, and needs no u following. Also attached is the elvish dictionary. I am working on redoing Psalm 139 in the new alphabet, and I will get that up as soon as it is completed. It should be noted that normally elvish is written from left to right and bottoms to top, but once again I neglected that when writing the elvish greeting next to the alphabet...

Let me know what you think, and if you have any suggestions whatsoever, then you had better comment and let me know!

As soon as I get a Seanil grammar guide put together (trying to write a book on grammar is difficult when your knowledge of the terms in the English grammar structure is sadly limited... I know how to write it, but writing about how to write it is proving difficult... Here is what I have for the guide to Seanil Elvish so far... Please, any and every suggestion/comment would be much appreciated!!!

I also notice your alphabet letters are listed from top to bottom. But then they are also listed according to the corresponding sounds in the Latin alphabet. What order are the letters in Elvish books? Is the Elvish dictionary updated, or the same? This is looking good!

I'm not sure what the Elvish alphabet order would be, I've toyed with the ideas of putting all the vowels first from order of most used to least and then the same with consonants after that, but I'm not sure. Also, some of the symbols for elvish have different pronunciations than the Latin symbols that they loosely correlate too, so I'm going to try and work on the pronunciation bit a little and try to separate the Elvish alphabet from the Latin one... The Elvish dictionary has a few extra words in it on my computer, but nothing really significant. I haven't been working much on the Language lately... And the Elvish grammar is slightly outdated... I have been hoping for a very long time to be able to write an Elvish language primer, workbook, and reader (so my fans could learn the language) but that is just a very distant dream...

The IPA can help with that: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPA Look at the Click Consonants, they are excellent!

Not so distant or dreamy, especially if your fans help you make them!

Thanks! I'll take a look at it a bit more after my classes at the college are finished up for this term. After taking a quick glance at it I can't make heads nor tails of it, but when I have some time to actually sit down and read through the article, I'm sure I will figure it out. Yeah! Someone who has a better grasp of teaching grammar than I do... Thanks for your thoughts!
