Lord of the Rings ExpertYes, Tengwar is an Elvish script that was created by Fëanor. However, it first started with an Elf named Rúmil, who created the first writing system and language. Then, Fëanor improved the writing system of Rúmil, and it was eventually adopted by the Elves and became Tengwar, also known as the Fëanorian runes. -

QuestionHow do I write a word in Quenya that has a vowel as the first letter?

QuestionHow do I know if I spelled something in Elvish correctly?
Victor K.Community AnswerWhen writing in Elvish, it's important to note which script you are referring to. During the time Tolkien developed the 'Lord of the Rings' trilogy and subsequent books, he made numerous dialects of the same language and fleshed out grammar rules as he built his worlds. Understand that there are differences between Elvish languages like Sindarin and Quenya, and learn the "laws" of Elvish by referring back to Tolkien's works. Utilize a web browser and look for trusted sites when necessary.
