How do you feel about them?
Which is your favorite?
Which is your least favorite?

I think my favorite has to be Black Speech, and my least favorite is probably Dwarven tongue. I also like Quenya, it reminds me a lot of the Breton language.

i'm a linguistics major, so i love tolkien's language.  khuzdul has always been one of my favorites because i study arabic and hebrew, and they are similar in style.

If you're going to waste your life learning a constructed language do it with one that has some standing, like Esperanto or Klingon.

No, study Lojban because it's actually interesting.

I wrote a huge paper on them back in high school... If you like Elvish (Quenya), learn Finnish, it was heavily based on it, with Welsh influences thrown in or something.

Learning a real language > learning an auxiliary language

Not that auxiliary languages aren't fun to play with, and all...

Finnish does not help learn Quenya. I speak Finnish and I've had a looked at Quenya - nop.jpg

I disagree because influence is clearly seeable when you really get into it. Of course it sounds and looks to outsiders plain and not related but there are common factors...

But I agree that learning finnish doesn't really help you learn Quenya. It will help you learn finnish.
