― Elvish Linguistic Fellowship

Vinyar Tengwar, or VT for short, is a linguistic journal published by the Elvish Linguistic Fellowship, dedicated to the scholarly study of the invented languages of J.R.R. Tolkien.

The name Vinyar Tengwar is a Neo-Quenya rendering of "Newsletters" as a loose compound of the neologism vinyar "news" (a noun plural from vinya "new", compare vanya "fair" and the clan of the Vanyar) and the plural of the word tengwa "letter (of the alphabet)". Its accuracy is disputed, mostly due to the semantic difference between "letter of the alphabet" and "letter, mail, post".[1]
