The letter g is never pronounced in the soft form, as in giant. For instance, Region is pronounced unlike the English word region. The letter r is lightly trilled, as in Spanish. The digraph dh, as in Caradhras, is pronounced like the th in this. The digraph ch, as in Orch, is pronounced as in German ach. Most samples of the Elvish language are written out with the Latin alphabet, but the languages were written using Tengwar, or occasionally carved in Cirth. Tengwar can however be used to write many other languages. See also: Languages of Middle-earth
