Quelqu'un connaît-il l'ouvrage de David Salo, A Grammar and Dictionary of Silvian Elvish, Other Hands 28 ? Je ne connais pas la date d'édition, mais je gage que c'est très récent. Cette question vaut donc aussi sans doute pour information.

En fait ca me revient maintenant, David en a parlé sur ELFLING (www.egroups.com/group/elfling) et en a présenté brièvement le contenu. Cest une "reconstruction" de l'elfique sylvain à partir des indications laissées par Tolkien. Je cite ici la partie interessante du message n° 2063...

Helge and others may be interested to know that I have gone a good deal further than this with one of Tolkien's languages. Based in large part on Tolkien's Doriathrin/Ilkorin language, with some hints from other Elvish languages Tolkien invented, I have spent some time re-creating the languages of the Nandor. Chris Seeman's quarterly periodical Other Hands, which has just been published, includes an article containing a fairly full description and glossary of the Silvan language of Mirkwood, as well as less detailed descriptions of the Silvan of Lorien and the Nandorin language of Ossiriand.
This is, of course, invention: I am not aware of, nor have I used, any unpublished material which describes the structure of Silvan Elvish. However, the language which I have described is intended to be fully plausible as an Elvish language of Eldarin (and particularly Telerin) origin; it is also intended to be in agreement, as far as possible, with the few known words of Silvan Elvish, and with the phonology of Ilkorin described in The Etymologies. The resulting description will be, I think, of interest to those who enjoy language as a game in itself; who would like to use an Elvish language which is, I think, rather more fully described than either Quenya or Sindarin have yet been; and those who would be interested in the language as a commentary on Tolkien's Ilkorin.
Also included in this issue of Other Hands will be articles on the
history of the Nandor; "Tatyarin Avari: The Dark Elves"; "The History of Mount Gundabad"; and a poem, "Siriann's Song".

Pour compléter mon message précédent, voici la revue de l'ouvrage de David Salo sur le site web du fanzine "Other Hands" (plus généralement dédié aux jeux de roles en Terre du Milieu, pour ceux que cela peut intéresser), http://otherhands.com. Il y a aussi des indications sur la manière de commander le bouquin, mais je n'ai pas encore tout lu.

SILVAN DICTIONARY PUBLISHED!
Our new January issue features an extensive grammar and 1000+ word dictionary of Silvan Elvish, the language spoken by the Elves of Mirkwood and Lórien. Its author, noted Tolkienian linguist David Salo, describes it as follows:
"The Silvan language described in the following text is a new invention, not to be found in the works of J.R.R. Tolkien. It is, however, clearly based upon Tolkien's invented languages, drawing especially upon Tolkien's Ilkorin and Doriathrin languages (which were superseded by Sindarin), upon the few words and names which are said to be in the languages of Ossiriand, Lórien, or Mirkwood, and to a small extent on Tolkien's early "Gnomish" language. It is also intended to fit precisely into Tolkien's overall family tree of Elvish languages. Almost all of its words can be derived from Common Eldarin roots through consistently applied sound changes, and most of the words have cognates in either Quenya or Sindarin. Its grammar is also intended to be derivable from what is known or guessed about the grammar of early Eldarin; in this sense, it is a genuinely Elvish language. However, the precise forms and usages of that grammar are entirely invented; the details of Silvan phonology, and the relationships of the various Silvan dialects, are invented, however plausibly; the great majority of the Silvan words cannot be found in any work of Tolkien's. Since Tolkien did not discuss Silvan in any depth in his published works, this has given the inventor considerable freedom to describe Silvan somewhat more completely than either Quenya or Sindarin have yet been. He hopes that it will be used and enjoyed: as a language in itself, as a tool that will help in imagining the lives of the Silvan Elves, and as a window into the complex but fascinating structures of Tolkien's Elvish languages."
