Below is a collection of larger text samples from various sources. Unfortunately, we do not have a lot, so we treasure what little we have. Suggestions for more materials are welcome!
This is the wide-screen version, more suitable for laptops and monitors. For the narrow-screen display mode, see the narrow text index instead.
Each text is displayed on a separate page, with four columns, from left to right: the text item number (used for reference), the romanized Quenya text, the Quenya text written in tengwar, and the sentence-by-sentence translation. At the bottom of the page you will see four checkboxes, one for each columns; clicking them will show or hide the corresponding columns.
Some texts are split up into a main page and other pages below it; the main text will show a list of links to the subordinate pages. At the bottom of the text there may be Prior/Up/Next links, for: the preceding text page, the main text page this one is below, and the following text page.
The sample texts also come up in a different form: when you click a “Search in sample texts” link at the bottom of one of the Quenya word pages, it will take you to a page listing the specific sample text sentences containing that word, with that word highlighted in the text.
If you want to see the sample texts in a different tengwar font, please use the “wide” links on the font samples page.
In the table on contents below, click on a column titles to sort by that column, twice to reverse. Sorting is cumulative, later sort takes precedence. Click on the chapter count to expand or collapse the chapter link list of a sample.
The columns show, in this order, the following information: the primary illustration (if any), the audio track count (voice recordings of the text), whether there are secondary translations for the text, whether the text has a word-aligned view with lexical analysis, the total count of Quenya words, the same count without duplicates, the count of numbered text items, the number of chapters (click to expand), and the top-level title.
If this page loads too slowly, try using the plain index instead.
