Here are some handy sentences in Quenya, the language of the High Elves in JRR Tolkien's Middle-Earth. They are useful if you want to impress your friends or are just interested in Tolkien's fascinating invented languages.

Pronunciation

The matter of Quenya pronunciation can be extensively discussed. All that can be mentioned here is that it is similar to that of Italian, but the h is fully pronounced, and c and g are pronounced hard (as in car and garden). An acute accent mark on a vowel (eg á, é) is not used to mark the stressed syllable, but indicates a long vowel.

If a word ends on e, usually it is written as ë to indicate that it is not silent.¹

There is a set of rules on stress, which are too long to discuss here. For now, it will be enough to say that the stressed syllable is either the second-to-last or the third-to-last one.
