Link works, no code needed, but slow download (25 KB/sec) unless you pay for full speed.

The material might be a little bewildering for those who has little or no knowledge of the languages of Middle-Earth - it may be more accessible if you go directly to the original websites:

Languages of Middle-Earth: Ardalambion: http://folk.uib.no/hnohf/
this is one of the very best (if not the best) web-site for the study of Tolkiens languages, and has a lot of links.

Fonts: Dan Smiths Fantasy Fonts for Windows: http://www.acondia.com/fonts/index.html
for the newest updated fonts, keyboard-mapping, macros, help-files, even word-processors etc., some links.

As a reader of the works of Tolkien for more than forty years, including studying some of the languages for the last few years, I can testify that this material is of the HIGHEST QUALITY you will ever get.
Thanks to Sûlherokhh for putting such stuff on T3A.

A note to those who might want to apply some of this stuff to their elven faction (naming units or using elven speech in audio files): use SINDARIN and sindarin only, if you want to be 'historical correct' so to speak, i.e. true to the work of Tolkien. At the end of the 3rd age the sindarin language was the only language used by the elves throughout Middle-Earth, and all the elven names of persons and places in LotR are sindarin.

You'll have to click the link, press the 'free' download button, wait 1 or 2 minutes, then enter a 4 letter code shown and then download.

As of now, there are 90 hits on the download of this material.
Out of curiosity, has this been of any use or interest to anyone?
