Author's Note: This is a bit of a joke that I wrote with the help of a friend. We thought that Faramir was skilled at different languages, and wondered just what languages he could speak.

Trying to think of as many as possible, and writing a story on each. Some languages will be from Lord of the Ring, some will not, but we will name them and where they come from. So Have no fear

This chapter is about the Ents and their language, since their is not much facts to be found about it, I jave done my best to make it corect. I hope it will do.

Disclaimer: I do not own Lord of the Ring, I only borrow parts of it and shall return them as soon as I am done. Completely undamaged, as I am certain it will be impossible to see where we glued the pieces back together.

Of The Ents and Entish

Aragorn had invited all of his friends for dinner, and after the meal they had sat down and was discussing various things.

Eowyn and Arwen was discussing the subject of becoming mothers. Eowyn held little Elboron in her arms, and Arwen would soon give birth to her child.

Sam had drawn Legolas into a discussion about flowers, trees and all that could be grown in a garden. Gimli was enjoying listening to them and kept throwing in comments to annoy Legolas as much as possible. Frodo appeared amused by Gimli's frustration of being completely ignored by Legolas.

Aragorn had drawn Faramir into a discussion of politics since the young man still was quite formal around his King. Aragorn did however make attempts at changing the subject to more informal things every now and then. Both men listened with clear amusements to the discussion between Merry and Pippin.

"There's no beer better than that from the Green Dragon!" Merry exclaimed.

"Aye, but that Rohan stuff was rather good, I think." Pippin grinned. "You know I think you could really teach them how to brew real ale."

"Not like the Gondorian thing--- what really is it?" Merry wondered. "S'not really water, but it's not really ale either."

"I believe the Shire folks are not quite satisfied with the ale our people drink." Aragorn smiled. Another attempt to make the subject between the two more personal.

"The Rohan ale does have another potency." Faramir admitted. "Eowyn refuses the Gondorian brew, so I'm getting quite used to it."

"The brew the Dwarves makes, now that's something," Pippin stated. "Almost makes you think you're back at the Green Dragon again."

"Ever tried that, Faramir?" Aragorn asked with a smile.

"No, I do not think so," he said thoughtfully.

"You would remember if you had. Much stronger than anything that has ever been brewed in Rohan." Aragorn grinned. "Not even Eomer would remain standing after a few pints."

"Strong indeed then." Faramir nodded.

"And the Shire ale is even worse." Aragorn chuckled.

"Now that Entish what-ever-it-was, that some really good drink," Pippin stated with a wide grin.

"Shame we could not drink much of it, even if we had it," Merry said remorsefully. "We'd get so tall we couldn't get into our own house back home."

"Was fun, wasn't it," Pippin said with a sad smile. "Kinda miss Treebeard."

"He was really nice," Merry agreed.

"Yeah, with all his Hruuuummmmppppphhhhh, hrrrroooooooommmmmm, hrrrrrruuuuuuuuupppppppppppphhhhhhhhhhhmmmmmmmmmmmmmuuuuuuuuuumm." Pippin made a quite lengthy speech that was a rather good impression of Entish.

"Somehow, I doubt he said just that." Faramir grinned.

"It sounded like that," Pippin stated firmly. "The whole time."

"Yes, I do not doubt that." Faramir gave Pippin a warm smile. "But did he really say, 'the ants walk upside down in the lake because the sky is green?' Somehow I doubt it."

Pippin, Merry and Aragorn looked at him, quite baffled.

"He never said that," Pippin managed.

"The Entish you spoke would translate as that," Faramir explained.

"Faramir," Aragorn said. Faramir turned to look at him. "You speak Entish?"

"I understand it better than I speak it." Faramir said shyly. "I asked Mithrandir about the Ents when I was younger. In the end he relented and taught me the language. Takes too long to really speak it, though. One can go on for half an hour if one wants, and not getting further than 'hello.' "

"He did say it took a long time to say anything in old Entish," Merry remembered.

"They do have a point with it," Faramir noted. "One should not say anything that's not worth the time it takes saying it."

"Argh, stop that, Faramir," Pippin pleaded. "You even sound like an Ent."

"Now my friend, be not hasty in your judgement." Faramir grinned as he knew the two hobbits had heard that many times from the Ents.

Aragorn looked very pleased as it had been the whole course of the conversation, and Faramir had not fallen back to formality even once.

'Mayhap there is hope for him,' he mused to himself. 'The Ents can be hasty at times, and one can make the Steward smile.'

This chapter have now reached its end, a new chapter shall follow upon a later date. Unless something goes wrong it shall come in a week.

Thank you all for reading, and for reviewing, wich of course you all do, do you not?

Breon Briarwood: Thank you, since you asked I have posted the whole song on my user bio. There is no other page with it that I know of, at least not where it is translated into English. It will be on my page for some time.

Silver Sniper: I am glad you like the chapter, I hope you like this as well. One can have just as much fun with Swedish as with any other language, and I enjoy playing with languages.

lindahoyland: The only reason that Faramir is a Ranger is because they do not have Scouts. I mean, everyone loves to be a Scout, myself I was born Scout, and I always shall be one. Thank you very much for your kind words.

LalaithoftheBruinen: I am oh so glad you liked it. I try to update once a week. That way I can make sure I writefaster and won't run out of chapters to update. I will sometimes post other things at various times thought.

Random-Battlecry: Can I thank you enough? I Doubt it, but I try, thank you. I had fun with the Swedish, and I shall most certainly keep posting.

silvren ithildin: Thank you again and again, and then some. I apreciate your help a lot.

Thank you all once more, for I do not believe that word can be used to many times.

Kindest Regards, Elenhin
