speeches

Some time ago I downloaded Sharkey's Purist Edit of the movies and enjoy watching those rather than the originals. One drawback to Sharkey's though is that it lacks subtitles, so I'm writing some, just for my own use. I like to be thorough, so I'm curious what all the Ring says when Frodo...

Hello all When Sam and Frodo are right in front of Mount Doom and Frodo has collapsed, Sam tries to reach him and pictures the Shire. It's about longing, peace, contentment, home and love. I get the chills and tears and there are no words to describe that feeling really. Except, maybe...

From Ragnarok in The Norse Myths retold by Kevin Crossley-Holland "An axe-age, a sword-age, shields will be gashed: there will be a wind-age and a wolf-age before the world is wrecked" From RotK Chapter 5 The Ride of the Rohirrim: Arise, arise, Riders of Théoden! Fell deeds awake: fire and...

Hi guys, i'm looking to get "One Anna to Rule Matt" inscribed on the inside of my wedding ring as a bit of a LOTR meme... I understand the script on the one ring is in the black speech but i'm unable to locate anything that can translate for me into the actual black speech script. Does such a...

Was it Melkor or Sauron who created it? And when was it first used? Would it have been the dominant language of Middle Earth had Sauron won?

So I'm learning Black Speech, but the language is quite incomplete. Does anyone know what the rest of the language is/should be?

As many of you know the Black Speech was barely elaborated on in most of JRRT's work. I would like to pick up where he left off. I think we should begin to extensively study the information we possess and use it to create the most accurate possible portrayal of the black speech. Many have...

I have been researching the black speech and have found many links and websites. f you need help or have any helpful info please post here or pm me. Oh. and try and find what my name means.

Hi all, I’m very much into the language of Mordor, but the use of it in The Lord of the Rings is not sufficient enough for me to learn it. I am fascinated by the languages of other cultures, and I am very fond of Tolkien’s ability to produce whole new languages, I wondered if anyone could point...

Sean - SHUT UP. Thank you. I liked Sean before he used the acceptance speech to make a stupid political statement about Actor Unions. He sounded like he was complaining because he didn't make as much as an actor as other famous actors?!?!?!? Are you kidding me? Anyone else see...

I was just wondering whether anyone knew if Tolkien had thought about the language of Black Speech as much he did as Quenya, and whether any documents existed of how to learn Black Speech. I mean, I can only deduct so much from the Black Speech inscription on the One Ring (see signature), for...

Thank you for the words of Mordor...But, I wonder if the black speech of Mordor could be translated into English? I know there has to be more to it than just, "One Ring To Rule Them All, One Ring To Find Them, One Ring To Bring Them All, And In The Darkness, Bind Them...." Thank you.

I'm not sure how you spell it-is it Rivendell?-The home of "Elrond" In the Ext. version of the 1st. film in Rivendell, when, was it Boromir?-He wanted so much to take the ring from the table; he almost touched it when "Gandalf" stood up and started speaking the Black Speech of Mordor in front of...

Wanderings of Húrin: "Too much speech;too little action"-do you agree? This is the critisicm that Prof. Clyde Kilby levelled at the Wanderings of Húrin (HoME 11). Do you think so? Like C.T I found it to be engaging and interesting. But I wish he had written about Húrin's actions in Doriath...

when the party gets captured by the wood elves and bilbo spies on them he understands what the elves are saying. this means they must have used the common speech. don't elves usually speakin elvish together? or was this another point that Tolkien overlooked when writting the Hobbit? reem

Does anyone know where I can find a copy of Sam's speech in Gondor when Frodo feels like giving up?

Can anyone out there help me to learn the Black Speech. More specifically how to properly pronounce the engraving on the Ring of Power.
