Seeing as Tolkien based his Elven language on Welsh and the Elven in DA is probably derived from that, it makes complete sense that the Elves should speak in a Welsh accent.

I thought Tolkien based his elven language on Finnish?

At any rate, there's a range of Welsh accents right from those found in Cornwall to those found in rural parts that some folks like to make fun of. We're not going for anything comedic, so there's no need to panic. Unless you enjoy panicking, of course. Then by all means, panic.

When I returned to the UK in 1989 and met my beloved, Welsh accents were still an object of fun for the English.  It's these last years with people such as Antony Hopkins and Catherine Zeta Jones, and revived Dr Who and Torchwood when they've finally become more respected...

Isn't it Quenya = Finnish / Sindarin = Welsh?

Or the reverse?

Or something totally different?

Sorry, I didn't mean to imply that I actually cared.

Oh man ... you rile the Tolkien fandom, you rile some detail-oriented, persistent people with lots of time on their hands.

Considering what they normally spend their time on, I figure any fuming on their part would at the very least have to be more interesting than the Silmarillion.

The Silmarillion has the interesting elf parts, too.    LOTR elves are much more limpwristed.

oh and Welsh <3

[RazorrX]

I was hoping for irish so that we could have them go off on a tirade about blood being split for the blood that was spilt when blood was spilling for blood and such. (bad IRA ref)



Then you could have the keeper casting virulent walking bomb on his people as they run out to fight the shems . . .

[Addai]

I do hope those of you 'ing that comment aren't the owners of any of those donkey-eared mutants from other elf fandoms.

'Cuz Fingon and Maedhros could Chuck Norris those freaky bastards without even breaking a sweat.

And speak Welsh doing it!

[RazorrX]

Can't remember now was it Fingon or Fingolfin who wounded Morgoth 7 times?



Anyway, I enjoyed the SIlmarillion because it was the elven story and history of the world prior to the ewoks errrr hobbits.

[lv12medic]

Eh, I have no problem with a Welsh accent being used.  I <3 Dalish regardless.  Unless they go off and do something stupid.

The oath of Fëanor dictated the path of an entire age of a planet. And that was after he spawned Maedhros. The house of Finwë rulled most of the world for two ages.
