I love how he is only showing clips of Legolas 😂😂

_edhellim_ = (a group plural) the Sinda elves
_edhellen_ = (adj; noun) 1. elven, elvish; 2. the Sindarin language

Both words are accented on the second syllable.

Very impressed with your knowledge and the fact you're presenting it in English (not your native tongue of Polish) - just a couple of corrections from this as a Welshman - Celtic is pronounced 'Keltic' not 'Seltic', and at the end of your video when you listed the various sources with Welsh and Brythonic - Welsh is a Brythonic language and not different.

'Mr Tolkien created a few languages before he even like hit puberty'
me remembering when I was back in primary school inventing languages with my best friend: 🙂

[phoebesparks]

my friends always ask me how long I've known elvish and I say since I was born, Then I say really ever since Arteii's videos came out

In Hindu, the Maya is the world of illusion. Tolkein created the Maiar, which are beings from a world of illusion.

What is your nationality? And what is your native tongue?

[kamerenhalk]

Why don't you roll your R's? My parents are from Poland and roll their R's all the time.

Was Professor Tolkien a biblical scholar? Were his books inspired by the bible?

[nicnam]

The truth is J.R.R Tolkien loved Wales and studied alot of Welsh historical books like the Mabinogion and knew the language well

(also please, please do not call it seltic, )

Sindarin is as different from Welsh as it is similar to it (I speak Welsh before you come at me).
