  • *“No, I don’t desire to go and have afternoons talking Elvish to chaps. Well, because… Elvish is too complicated, I’ve never finished making it.”*

    The madlad actually ended up making *two* kinds of Elvish with a vocabulary of a couple thousand words total.

    And then he invented 10 or 11 more languages for Middle-Earth for which there’s a handful to a hundred words.
