# 163 - Jumbo in Road Rage

Consonants of which language?















Edit:
As Vats rightly points out, consonants of which script?

Cracked by Vats, i man, Tempo, karthik, shark nu, alva, vishal, suvinay, vinay hegde and abstract randomness

Answer(highlight to view):
I was looking for the Tengwar script though I'll give points to Quenya/Sindarin/Elvish script.

The question is a tad inaccurate

These are the consonants of the Tengwar script, invented by Feanor before the War of the Silmarils.

However, in Middle Earth, no one language holds claim over the characters. Middle earth has only two types of characters, the Tengwar (or Quenya for "letters") and the Cirth (or Quenya for "Runes").

The characters are used in ALL middle earth languages, right from the High-Elvish Quenya, to the language of the Fallen Elves, Sindarin, to the Westron tongue, even to the Black Tongue of Mordor. In fact, the inscription on the One Ring, while in the Black Speech of Mordor, actually uses the Tengwar, ir Feanorian characters.
