Hey there fellow travelers! Welcome to The Tolkien Road, a long walk through the works and philosophy of J.R.R. Tolkien. On this episode, we interview Gabriel Blanchard, a fellow Tolkien enthusiast, about Tolkien’s languages. Gabriel really knows his stuff, and I think you’ll find this discussion very helpful when it comes to understanding the different languages that Tolkien created. Also, be sure to check out TrueMyths.org/Elvish for the show notes as well as links to some helpful resources, Gabriel’s blog, and his recently published book.
