i'm sorry, if this is not the right place to post this.

Please, can you tell me what's written here?

Which language this is?

It reminds me of the greek alphabet just a little distorted. You can see 'rho' 'omega' 'kappa' 'phi (maybe)'

Edit. "lamda" (Sp?) is def in there. same goes for 'beta'

The writer of the Lord of the Rings,(JRR Tolkien) was a professor of languages at oxford, he used a bedtime story for his kids to develop ancient british and european languages, how he thought they would be in mythology. This is how the story came about...

Cirth.

It's defentally Cirth, but there's a couple of letters I don't recognize in there, and the translation will be extreamly sloppy, but iIll try my best. Im not as fluent in Cirth as Tengwar, so that might be a slight problem.

Okay, I'm not positive, but I think it's called Cirth and is based on Anglo-Saxon and Nordic runes. By the way...this language doesn't exist! It was invented by J.R.R. Tolkein. Have fun deciphering!

thank you all, for posting.

i found this image as someone's avatar on another website (i can´t remember which).

when you mentioned tolkien, i went to check my books of the lord of the rings, and their actually there, on the end of my edition of the "Return of the King".

i didn´t find the exact text of the picture, but i found the letters.

this is mentioned as "angerthas" writting.

there is conversion system on the book. i will try to translate it, just by curiosity.

thanks
