Honestly surprised that I can't find a full translation of LotR to Latin! There's one of The Hobbit: https://www.harpercollins.com/products/hobbitus-ille-the-latin-hobbit-j-r-r-tolkien
And a few seemingly abandoned projects: https://web.archive.org/web/20150123220432/https://www.eldalie.ch/~earendilyon/
Plus a couple of short clips: https://youtu.be/2FQWhPfhRwU
...but yeah, nope :0

This rainstorm has, as usual, gotten me excited to dig into the fancy writin' stuff – so please feel free to request words/phrases even if you don't know Latin. :) I've been writing notes/journals in Elvish *letters since I was a teenager, so am doing a little refresher to write more standardized script. For contrast, here's some of my usual chicken scratch. I think it's cooler with the tehtar (diacritics), like above, but my writing is more legible with separate vowels, so I stick to that...

@alexglow@chaos.social Interesting, thanks! Unfortunately it doesn’t seem to be available from their UK site. Odd, considering that they teach Latin in some High Schools here.
