| | Westron - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Rohirric, the language of the Rohirrim was translated by Anglo-Saxon, as Rohirric is an archaic relative of Westron (since the Edain from whose speech Westron is derived were related to the ancestors of the Rohirrim) much as Anglo-Saxon is an archaic relative of English. | | | Westron is an English word, derived from West, not a word from the language itself. | | | Similarly, the tongue of Dale, from which came the names of the Dwarves of Durin's house, was translated by Old Norse, a language related to Anglo-Saxon and modern English as Dalish was related to Rohirric and Westron. |

| | Westron |
| | Tolkien explains: "The language represented in this history by English was the Westron or 'Common Speech' of the West-lands of Middle-earth in the Third Age. | | | Maura "Frodo" (PM:50) There was no word maur- in contemporary Westron, but in archaic Rohirric it meant "wise, experienced"; hence Tolkien rendered Maura by a Germanic name of similar sense. | | | The language actually spoken by the characters in LotR, and indeed the language the Red Book was originally written in, was called Adûni, which name Tolkien rendered into English as Westron. |

| | la tenguar: A romantic orthography for Lojban |
| | In early 2000 I learned that this was due to a misprint in most editions of LoTR printed after the mid-1960s; Tolkien actually (and quite logically) intended 3(0/2) to stand for the unvoiced palato-alveolar affricate /ch/ of English `church'. | | | The astute reader will have already noticed that there is a hole in the two-dimensional pattern made by these at 20(1/3), which (though Tolkien doesn't give a value for it in Westron) ought to represent a nasalized velar like /ng/. | | | These Westron-like assignments would leave ugly holes in the tengwar table for Lojban and exile s and z far from their phonetic brethren. |

| | The linguistic fiction Tolkien utilizes is that modern English translates the Westron language, the Common Tongue of Middle-earth. | | | Anglo-Saxon translates true Rohirric, which is related to but not derived directly from Westron. | | | Hence, the modern English toponymy translates the Hobbit Westron toponymy of the "real" Shire. |

| | It appears to have been specifically constructed, lending credence to the idea that the relevantly recent origin of the written language suggests that it was the learned priests of the Spires to the Sun who devised the written form of the Kelgan tongue, as part of some unspecified protection or bargain. | | | Fortunately for the translators of Minaria the symbols are rarely used and are in fact relegated to rather old-fashioned words rarely coming up in casual conversation and even less in written form. | | | The language uses the Westron script, but there are three extra symbols that could only have been derived from Draconic origins. |

| | Westron is a "Mixed Language" like you said, and Tolkien used English for the Westron language in his books. | | | The narrow minded approach I was thinking of is that since English has so much French vocabulary, then the Elves spoke French as Westron was very heavily influenced by the Elves. | | | I am a person who is starting to be interested in the languages of JRR Tolkien. |

| | The old tune, was quite well-known in the English Renaissance (Tudor period) and, despite its somewhat risque text, was the basis for several "Westron Wynde" Masses, particularly of John Taverner (1490-1545), Christopher Tye (c.1505 - 1573) and John Sheppard (c.1520-c.1560). | | | At the time I began it, there was no intention of using the old "Westron Wynde" tune but that evolved after a suggestion had been made in my Delian discussion group by its moderator, Joseph Dillon Ford, about using it in a project. |
