I would like to request adding Quenya to the list of languages on Wikimedia. Quenya is the language of the elves in the works of Tolkien.
ObNitpicking: it is one such language. Sindarin is the other elvish language about which Tolkien wrote a significant amount. I suppose granting a wikipedia for one would make it rather difficult not to grant one for the other as well.
Especially since, TTBOMK, the known vocabulary for Sindarin is rather larger than that for Quenya, making it arguably more suitable for such a work.
(One problem with Klingon and Toki Pona is, in my opinion, their limited vocabulary, which makes it difficult to write about a fair number of subjects. I can well imagine that Quenya will have similar problems; probably even Sindarin, for that matter, but Quenya even more so.)
I have been told that, crazy as it seems, there are actually Unicode entities for this alphabet (though I haven't confirmed this).
Not yet. According to http://www.unicode.org/pending/pending.html, Tengwar is "in Early Committee Review".
