Serious suggestion for the languages forum

[Alkanoonion]

The languages section is a bit of a mess true and as I am no expert so I will not volunteer to be a mod, but why not have on your web page a basic vocab section? If this is to much work I have one being set up that you could copy or link to if you like
Example: sub headings under Language

Tangwar

Sindarin

Quenya

Black Script
Under each section you have the description and the basic Vocab eg
The Black Script / Speech


The Ring inscription in the ancient Black Speech from The Fellowship of the Ring
"Ash nazg durbatulûk, ash nazg gimbatulash nazg thrakatulûk, agh burzum-ishi krimpatul"
"One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all and in the Darkness bind them."

"It is said that the Black Speech was devised by Sauron in the Dark Years"
For the use of his minions in place of the Common Speech.
