Oh, I just discovered Toki Pona. I am in love. I am adding that to my list, way up at the top with Esperanto.

Indeed. Not a complete language, in the sense that you can't use it to talk about every topic, but that isn't the purpose either, the purpose is more philosophic. Coincidentally, Esperanto meet-ups are a good place to go looking for fellow Toki Pona speakers, including the inventor. 2 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

Sad indeed, but unfortunately borne out by experience. The Internet is not the most forgiving place. This forum is, often, a refreshing change from that. It's certainly lovely when people can let stuff flow off their backs without ruffling any feathers, but when a tone is perceived as negative, it's a fact that some people can be hurt by it, and in that situation I don't think it's fair to expect them to just "deal with it" without respectfully speaking up about it. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

You know, I didn't even know there was a difference. The last time I tried to learn Elvish was in junior high, about a decade ago, and I found it really hard to find learning resources. Are they both really developed languages? 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

I don't know much about the differences myself. However, there is a grammar for Sindarin available at Amazon.com. I guess purists aren't always pleased with it because the linguist who wrote it apparently changed some aspects of the language, but like I don't know that much about the subject.
I think I have a grammar and vocabulary of one of the languages on my computer that I downloaded for my own personal language library. I don't know how thorough it is, though. I agree the languages are beautiful, but I am interested in learning the languages that inspired Tolkien: Old English, Finnish and Welsh (I'm not sure what else there was). 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

I don't think i will really learn all these languages at all, but these are the ones that i most like.
The ones that i am really interested in learning: German - I'm a big fan of Germany, mainly it's history and the country itself. Russian - Because I like the alphabet French - Because it's very used in Canada, wich i really like. Italian - Italy is another country that i love. Japanese - I like the japanese people and their intelligence. The ones that i will learn if possible: Finnish,Swedish,Danish,Icelandic - I like cold places.
