QUETTAR is Quenya, or `High-Elven'.
It means `words', and is the bulletin of the Linguistic
Fellowship of the Tolkien Society,
whose members are referred to as Quendili,
which means `lovers of language' or `lovers of Quenya',
(though there are some Sindarindili among us). Those who describe
themselves as philologists tend to say Lambendili.
F"eanorian calligraphers are known (perhaps inaccurately)
as Tengwardili, runemasters as Certat'uri.

The languages which principally interest us are those
sub-created by J. R. R. Tolkien, including:

  Quenya       Khuzdul
  Qenya        Ad^unaic
  Sindarin     Rohirric
  Nandorin     Wose-speech
  Wood-Elven   Arctic
  Telerin      Black Speech
  Eldarissa    Common Speech / Westron
  Goldogrin    Other Mannish languages

This also involves a degree of interest in Finnish,
Welsh, Old English and other `real world' languages.
We stress `interest'. While expertise is welcome, in
order to become a Quendil all you need
is love. We trust that knowledge will follow.

The Editor of Quettar is
