if you all put as much effort into learning real spoken languages as you do into Drow, Klingon and Tolkiens Elvish.... you would all be linguists.


Gods, What is this world comeing to?????

--screw Drow.
Here's a quote (Quenya) from the Silmarillion. You'll recognize the name of a char in the KDS region.

A Túrin Turambar turún' ambartanen!
in Drow, that beautiful phrase is bastardized as follows:
gi Turin jabbuk d' haruk a haruk veldrukev!

Drow seems more akin to the Black Speech than Elvish...probably because the Dark Elves of the AD&D world are supposed to be dark and sinister and so forth. Interesting bit of trivia: dark elves are derived from the Norse Svartalfen--dark elves who lived underground, also known as gnomes or dwarves.
They didn't shoot purple lightning or have portable spheres of darkness, but they did forge things really well.

In closing, a Black Speech quote and translated into Drow:

Ash nazg durbatulúk, ash nazg gimbatul,
ash nazg thrakatulûk agh burzum-ishi krimpatul
and in Drow
Uss anth ulu ilstar mina jal, uss anth ulu ragar mina. Uss anth ulu sila mina jal lu' wun l' oloth valbyl mina

Which reminds me: Drow as it's spoken on the forums has no etymology to speak of. does it have different grammatical structure from English, as Sindarin and Quenya and even the Black Speech do?

No?



EHMTRUD!


Siyo Usstan shlu'ta talinth Ilythiiri zhah alur taga "trantz" Evlish. "Trantz"

My KDS char was also named that for a couple of hours. Gave it up when he found out that there was already one. I settled on Agarwaen Umarthion for one of my other characters, though.

Yes, I am trying to make this the Quenya/Sindarin/Black Speech/etc. thread. So?

Somehow you strayed and lost your way,
and now there'll be no time to play,
no time for joy,
no time for friends
- not even time to make amends.
You are too naïve if you do believe life is innocent laughter and fun.
