    Sick. Is this an acutal language on the keys, or just lord of the rings jibberish?

      Both.

      Tolkien constructed an actual language for use in his works, and the gibberish you see on the keyboard is that language.

      Technically it’s an alphabet, not a language (excluding the keys with actual words on them and not just letters). The letters are called Tengwar and in the lore they’re Elvish letters, but you can use them to write in other languages like English. Even in universe they’re used for other languages like on the inscription of the One Ring, which is in Black Speech.

        Have you found an official alphabet to use with the Latin alphabet for comparison?

            OK thank you, I need to look deeper info that because not every letter is included.

              I don’t know much about it but I think the vowels are included as diacritics over the consonants.
