1/25/00 - Amman-Iar
Amman-Iar (Bell, David) - fictional diachronic language - 1990s
If you have ever longed to see one of Tolkien's languages brought to completion, you will love Amman-Iar, created in the spirit of Sindarin and Quenya and set in a new continent of Middle Earth. Originally inspired by Elvish, Amman-Iar has grown into something quite different, with a unique flavor of its own and a richly realized grammar. Amman-Iar is one of the few model languages on the Web with a detailed fictional history of word derivation.
David Bell had taken a year's sabattical from the Internet, and during that time he greatly expanded his language. He is now regularly updating his new web site, graywizard.net, to reflect the deepening development of Amman-Iar. His site is worth revisiting. Because of his previous absence from the Web, his language had fallen out of my Top Ten list, but it is now up two notches :-).
