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.
