# sindict

A non-authoritative Sindarin and Noldorin dictionary in XML (TEI) format.

The original "Sindarin dictionary project" (a.k.a. _Hiswelokë's Sindarin Dictionary_) began on Oct. 23, 1999 and was never completed.

Around 2008, the project went on hiatus. There was an effort to revive it in 2011-2014, with a number of core changes that included a

new format, the original XML file being converted and split in smaller subsets. However, this went very messy after the former editor got

robbed in 2014. To keep the story short here, the new tooling and sources were then lost. The project was all broken, in scattered pieces...

This is an attempt started around 2019 to repair and share a somehow working XML/TEI version (it proved to be the easiest path), reassembling what could be

reconstructed from earlier versions, somehow playing Lego(tm) with e-mails, some manual chirurgical glue and some automated back-conversions and

reassembly...

Most people landing on this page might probably rather be looking for the latest [generated build](https://omikhleia.github.io/sindict/).

If you are looking for a more complete and comprehensive scholarly dictionary of Tolkien's invented languages, [Eldamo](https://github.com/pfstrack/eldamo)

is certainly what you are looking for.
