    Linguistic aspirations?

    I wasn't quite sure of where this should actually go so please forgive me and/or my ignorance.:rolleyes: Just wondering how many (if any at all) of my fellow Tolkien fans (geeks) are like me and follow a similar path to Tolkien by inventing your own languages and/or alphabets. If you do I would...
