Welcome! Wilkommen! Bienvenu!
Elves have their own languages, so have
Dwarves. Men and Hobbits usually speak Westron.
But there are many ways to speak
Westron! This guide gives the translation of a number of
topographical names to help you find your way in the Shire. Or, to give
directions to newcomers and visiting friends.
