About this Generator
The Elvish this generator uses is called "Common Elvish". It is a fan-language developed as a supplement the TTRPG "Dungeons and Dragons"! It is based on the Elvish words and phrases found through the magazines, handbooks, and online (such as Ed Greenwood's Twitter). It's as close to D&D canon you'll get!
The sounds and meanings developed for Common Elvish come directly from source material and have been expanded upon to create a more dyanamic language.
