I would like to request adding Quenya to the list of languages on

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".
