Finnish Tengwar is a way to write Finnish with Tolkien's Tengwar alphabet devised by Kuutti Saarivirta. It can also be used to write Estonian. There are two modes: Tehtar mode, in which vowels are written with tehtar (diacritics) that appear above or below the consonant that precedes them, or over a vowel carrier if there is no preceeding consonant; and the Full mode, in which vowels are written with separate letters.

*The letter anda (ð/đ) is used to write the Kven dialect of Finnish. It appears in archaic words like /voiða/ (compare modern /voida/). /d/ typically evolved into /ð/ under Swedish rule.
Kaikki ihmiset syntyvät vapaina ja tasavertaisina arvoltaan ja oikeuksiltaan. Heille on annettu järki ja omatunto, ja heidän on toimittava toisiaan kohtaan veljeyden hengessä.
All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood.
