Sindarin is a constructed language invented by the author and linguist J.R.R. Tolkien. It is the language spoken by the Elves. Though the number of complete sindarin sentences is rather limited[1] enough information is available to derive syntactic rules and build a Sindarin grammar. This project aims at modelling the basics of Classi- cal Sindarin grammar in LFG using Xerox XLE system. In addition it interfaces to Xerox XFST to lookup morphological information which has already been implemented in another project. For more information about Classical Sindarin morphology see the project documentation[2]. The project is mainly based on information provided by David Salo’s ”A Gateway to Sindarin”
