:kaukau: This sounds like an actual language. And just because I I feel like trash talking Christopher Paolini, who doesn't know the different between a verb and a participle. That doofus. Also, Sindarin is legitimately pretty and I would rather learn this than French, which I will grant as sounding pretty also but unfortunately has the most inconvenient spelling conventions. Anyway, it's a legitimately cool language and Tolkien's languages probably will sound a heck of a lot more natural than anything I will ever come up with.

If you want convenient spelling conventions (or phonemic orthography), Wikipedia recommends learning Italian, Turkish, Spanish, or Finnish.

 

You'll also get fewer people calling you a nerd.


Nerd.

:kaukau: Also, Hungarian/Magyar, which is pretty phonetic.  Except Hungarian is really hard for an English speaker to pronounce due to all of the foreign sounds.  I'm interested in learning it because my grandmother grew up understanding it, but my interest would probably still count as nerdy because I'm also interested because it was the language that Count Dracula spoke in Transylvania.

 

Seriously, try pronouncing the common name "György."  It doesn't contain a single sound that we have in English.  And György was the name of the composer behind 2001: A Space Odyssey's music, which is another nerdy reason to be interested in it.
