Hello World: Elvish

I just thought it would be cool if you'd say hello world in elvish :p
So here you are.
Please note that I don't speak Elvish. I know random words of it, so my pronunciation may not be so fantastic but this basically how you say it. Look down to phonetics below this to know how to say it properly if you feel I'm not saying it correctly. Thank you.

PHONETICS= Mahn ore ah-mar

Pretty easy :)

Ignore the bloppers, man. I really can't speak Xp

This be Sindarin :P Quenya is much prettiers, and was Tolkien's favorite. "Hey World" in Quenya would be "Aiya, ambar", i.e. literally, "Hail, world". I am not familiar with writing phonetically, so I don't know how to give you an example like the one in your description, but I will say this: the diphthong 'ai' is pronounced like the 'i' in 'dine', the 'y' acts as a vowel, the 'a' is pronounced the same as all of the 'a's in your example, and 'ambar' is just like 'amar' with a 'b' after the 'm'.

@Throrindor I'm glad to find someone who knows something about this :D

To be entirely honest, I don't speak elvish, I just didn't think anyone knew any or would put a video up :| So I attempted my own and probably failed my tongue off :p

So Phonetically Aiya ambar would be something like "ah-E-a, ah-mahr" ?

Pretty cool :) Thanks for the lesson <3

Say "Man or amar!" after you've just woken up. Do this everyday.

@Beazle123 Sorry, not Vendui Mellon. Haha, that's what I'm used to saying. Vendui Mellon means Greetings Friend. To say greetings world you would say Vendui Palurin.

Pronunciation:

Vendui (Look at my last comment) Pah-Loor-In.

[Beazle123]

In Quenyan you could say "Greetings, World". The way you would say that is "Vendui, Mellon".

Pronunciation:

Ven-Doo-eee Mell-Ohn (ohn rhymes with bone)

@naturegirl2010 Again, I am not familiar with phonetics, but if I had to guess, I would write it "I-ya, ahm-bahr". And do not I speak it either, though I attempted to learn, and I probably will continue sometime in the future.

And you are very welcome :)

P.S. Elvish is not exactly the correct term to use, as it denotes a group of several languages. It is equivalent to our word 'Germanic'. Quenya is a seperate language from Sindarin, the former being more formal and the latter more common.
