Languages of Middle-earth
Tolkien Language Translators
Choose from eleven languages of Middle-earth. Each translator works in both directions with a browsable lexicon, transparent word details, and Tengwar transcription where appropriate.
English to Quenya Translator
Quenya is the High-elven speech of Valinor, an ancient and ceremonial tongue often called the Elven-Latin of Middle-earth. Galadriel’s lament Namárië is its most famous text.
English to Neo-Sindarin Translator
Neo-Sindarin extends Tolkien’s Sindarin with vocabulary adapted from earlier conceptual stages of the language and carefully constructed neologisms, giving a practical working lexicon for composition.
English to Neo-Quenya Translator
Neo-Quenya is the community-curated extension of Tolkien’s Quenya, filling gaps in the attested vocabulary so the High-elven tongue can be used for everyday writing.
English to Black Speech Translator
The Black Speech was devised by Sauron as the language of Mordor. Tolkien recorded only a handful of words, most famously the inscription on the One Ring itself.
English to Khuzdul Translator
Khuzdul is the secret language of the Dwarves, crafted by the Vala Aulë with Semitic-style consonantal roots. Outsiders know little beyond place names and the battle cry Baruk Khazâd!
English to Adûnaic Translator
Adûnaic was the native tongue of the Men of Númenor in the Second Age, ancestor of the Westron Common Speech of later ages.
English to Rohirric Translator
Rohirric is the language of the Riders of Rohan, which Tolkien rendered as Old English to convey its archaic kinship with the Common Speech.
English to Westron Translator
Westron is the Common Speech of Middle-earth in the Third Age, represented as English in the books. Its few attested words include the true names of the hobbits.
English to Entish Translator
Entish is the slow, sonorous language of the Ents, too long-winded for any other people to learn. New Entish phrases are approximated with Quenya vocabulary, as Tolkien himself did.
English to Valarin Translator
Valarin is the alien tongue of the Valar themselves, strange to Elvish ears and known from barely a dozen long, resonant words.
