Tengwar is the script used to write many Elvish languages in Tolkien’s world.
Tengwar is a writing system created by the Elf Fëanor in Tolkien’s fictional history. Its letters are called tengwa, and its design represents consonants and vowels through a structured system of signs. Tolkien presented the script in several different modes suited to different languages.
Tengwar is often called an “Elvish alphabet,” but that description is not fully precise. It is primarily a script, while Quenya and Sindarin are languages. Tengwar can represent languages other than Elvish ones, including forms of English in Tolkien’s examples. Cirth, another writing system, is associated especially with the Dwarves and uses angular runic characters.
