Elvish scripts

Elvish scripts are fictional writing systems created for the Elvish languages in J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle-earth, such as Tengwar and Cirth. They are artistic and intricate, often resembling elegant alphabets with unique symbols representing sounds. These scripts were designed to reflect the cultures and histories of different Elvish peoples, blending aesthetics with linguistic functionality. Fans and scholars study them to appreciate Tolkien’s world-building, and some use or adapt the scripts for artistic or personal projects. Although fictional, Elvish scripts demonstrate a detailed approach to constructing languages and writing systems within a rich fantasy setting.
