Elvish on Duolingo?
Mr. Tolkien's Elvish languages - that is Sindarin and Quenya - are among the most popular conlangs ever created. And many fans have wanted a Duolingo course on them for nearly a decade!
So, let's do it. Let's try one last time...

For anybody wanting to learn the Elvish language, I would recommend learning the Welsh language first. The Elvish language is heavily based on the Welsh language. If you learn Welsh, you will have a bit of a head start if Duolingo decide to do an Elvish course.

I can read and write in tengwar. Tengwar doesn't have enough letters to accommodate Welsh. I would imagine that's because Tolkien didn't put the Welsh parts of Welsh in Sindarin.
Yeeeeeaaaassss they should definitely try to add it on dualingo

I think it should be taken up by someone to develop the language further so it can be learnt, but I accept it's a complicated territory because some will see that as heresy against Tolkien I'd love to speak some form of elvish

Yes, that's a big part of it, maybe some day more Tolkien's Elvish writings will surface and we'll be able to learn more about the original language he envisioned and then build upon that

As for whether it was on the incubator page or not: it was. I remember seeing Sindarin there as I keep up with all new courses. I even thought about applying to help but because I don't speak Sindarin fluently I eventually decided against it. Somewhere in the last years it was deleted from the incubator page. I thought maybe the volunteers who were creating the course had given up, but I don't know for sure.

I doubt we will see Elvish on Duolingo anytime soon. Here on KZread, I will however present some videos about Quenya, the most highly-developed form of Tolkienian Elvish. The introductory episode is entirely IN Quenya, with subtitles: kzread.info/dash/bejne/daCcr7Z7n6faerQ.html
Which would be more practical to learn/teach? Quenya or Sindarin?

Sindarin is more widely spoken since it's the language of the wood elves. They are the main group of elves in Middle Earth. Quenya is the language of the high elves, and most of them also speak Sindarin.😊

Can’t anyone be granted like some sort of access to officially develop on the base language with the rules Tolkien started with and expand on it? And then, with a more structured Language it can be more teachable? Just some of my thoughts…

There are two most common Elvish languages: Quenya and Sindarin. So we need to learn some basic Finnish and Welsh first.
Are constructed languages proprietary in these circumstances? Is it a matter of getting the rights?
