DESCRIPTION:                             



The Eldanar Tongue is a Hermetic and Sylvan (Elven) language which is easy 

to learn, speak and write. The language is intuitive and songlike, and is 

uniquely crafted by its speaker or author. Its rules of Syntax are flexibly

woven.



It can be quickly read, spoken and understood by those familiar with it;

and being a sylvan tongue it often posesses an enchanting quality when 

spoken or heard.



It has an alphabet composed of Magical glyphs. To each glyph is attributed 

an English letter, several Eldanar syllable sounds, a major arcana of the 

Tarot, astrological designations and a Nordic Rune.



The individual Nordic Runes (from the Futhark alphabet) are matched to

Eldanar glyphs which have Tarot attributions of related meaning. 

                      INSTRUCTIONS AND TRANSLATION:



Eldanar words are formed by taking each letter from an english word and

substituting that letter with an appropriate Eldanar syllable sound chosen

from the Eldanar Syllable Key below.



Study this Eldanar/English Translated example for a moment:



Ista Artamir gilinarthdae tiros norol uthu!      

I    A   M   G L  A   D   T  O  N  O  U   !



This translates - "I am glad to know you!", and was phonetically spelled

(see below) in English as "I am glad to no u !".



Notice the Eldanar syllable substitution for each English letter above.

Thus one simply chooses a Eldanar syllable sound (from the several 

different sounds designated to each English letter) to substitute for every

english letter in a english word. When the Eldanar Syllable substitutions 

are spoken or written as described Eldanar words and sentences are formed.   

                         MISC. RULES OF SYNTAX:  



The single syallable sounds from the Eldanar Sylable Key below are the 

easiest to translate into English but are sometimes not as songlike when 

spoken. Always look and listen for the first letter of a Eldanar syllable 

sound, as that is usually the English letter translation of the Eldanar 

sound. (see examples) 



Two similar letters are not allowed to lie adjacent to each other in  

Eldanar words. Delete the extra letter. This aids pronounciation and 

translating Eldanar into English. 



English words may be spelled as they sound phonetically to shorten the 

length of Eldanar words. eg. Know = No.



Usually the context of a phonetically spelled English word in a Eldanar 

sentence will let the listener know which English word is implied.



Speakers should attempt to artfully craft words and sentences which are 

easy for the listener to translate into English.



If one learns but one or two Eldanar syllables for each English letter

of the alphabet they should be able to fluently speak the language, yet the 

more Eldanar syllables one knows the more beautiful thier Sylvan speach 

shall be. One may always create there own Eldanar syllable sounds, as well 

as edit the existing 'traditional' ones. Such is the freedom of the 

Eldanar Tongue.
