Quenya is a very detailed language - as is expected of constructed languages. There are around ten different noun declensions, and this guide will attempt to cover them all. There are also five verb tenses. For a complete guide, read wikibooks:Quenya.
Since Tengwar is not officially added to the Unicode yet, the entries should be Latin script.
The final short vowel /e/ is always spelled “ë”, except in monosyllabic words. It's also spelled “ë” in a sequence of two or more vowels, that don't form a diphthong.
The sound /k/ should always be spelled as “c” even before the vowels “e” and “i” (except in Early Quenya and older forms). It's labialized counterpart /kʷ/ is spelled “qu”.
The Tengwar script is automatically generated by the Template:qya-head, Template:qya-self, as well as templates using the Module:qya-headword.
