Hey, do you know if there is something else in Numenorean exept few names and what are they?

Also, was it based on something, I have heard that it was Sindarin or something like that?

Thank you,
Eomund :king:

You're not alone, Pil. I don't like it very much either, for the same reason. I fully understand you :p

Nah, I like the language. I find it....interesting. However, I do prefer the beautiful, musical elven languages.

I dislike the Numenorean language. It sounds harsh and ugly, as Pil said. And it's hard to pronounce too. (At least to me.)
