Tolkien's Alphabets

Tolkien invented at least five major alphabets with many variations. I list the major ones here with a few examples:

• Alphabet of Rúmil.

  

  There is now published (in PE13) a special set of numerals in the Alphabet of Rumil, so I give here a little example of one of the numbers.
  

• Runes of Gondolin
  

  

  I have just put up a new webpage giving a Chart for the Runes of Gondolin.
  

• Tengwar (in a mode used in Numenor)
  
  
  I have now a page explaining the numerals of the tengwar system here.
  
  
• Cirth
  
  
  
• Goblin Alphabet
  
  
  

I plan to include charts of the alphabets showing how to write with them. Also, I will be adding links to the few other sites on the net that show how to use these alphabets.
