…yet they still don't think about adopting Tengwar.
- jcranmer 4y agoActually, only Klingon was officially rejected. The Tolkien languages never had a fully-featured proposal to Unicode, but space for them is even tentatively allocated in Unicode (https://www.unicode.org/roadmaps/smp/ https://www.unicode.org/roadmaps/smp/, U+160xx). Klingon was explicitly rejected for a few reasons. Most prominently, there were serious concerns about Paramount asserting trademark rights over the characters. Especially at the time of its rejection, it wasn't clear that there was any organic use of the script, even among people speaking Klingon (note that in its earliest uses, it wasn't even used consistently as an alphabet for the language it is supposed to represent). Those reasons don't apply to Tengwar--and it's also been noted since then that the Unicode committee might look more favorably on a newer proposal for Klingon.
