Although this may be useful to create a more complete setting for GMs, and
inmerse players into RPGing; Sperethiel is definitely not Tolkien's elvish
languages (Called Quenya and Sindarin). Also comparing the words in the
list, and comparing some Tolkenian words, I think that Sperethiel and
Quenya or Sindarin sound different, even if you use the rules for
pronunciation laid in the Appendixes of the LOTR; the construction of words
doesn't seem to have any resemblance IMHO. Eventhough I must admit that all
fantasy novels, RPGs, games, movies, etc, are based on an stereotyped
interpretation of Tolkien's works.
