Words of Westernesse: Tolkien's Languages of Men and Hobbits

Words of Westernesse: Tolkien's Languages of Men and Hobbits

This book compiles the updated and illustrated essays on grammar and vocabulary of AdÃ»naic and Westron that one author of Codex Regius had previously published on Lalaith's Middle-earth Science Pages.
Lovers of J.R.R.Tolkien's invented languages have mostly disregarded the tongues spoken by the men of NÃºmenor and Middle-earth. The known vocabulary is small in comparison to the much better documented languages of the Elves, the grammar is only rudimentary described and relationships between words are difficult to identify. Yet it is possible to enjoy J.R.R. Tolkien's creativity in the 'lesser' languages of Middle-earth as well. This book takes a light-hearted view on the grammar, analyses the 'Lament of AtalantÃ«', the only poem Tolkien has written in the language of the sunken island of NÃºmenor, and tries to reconstruct the development of the words used by men (and hobbits!) of Middle-earth from the Second to the Third Age under the sun.
