Hello everyone,
Are there any collection of aldmeri words? Or maybe some book/articles about aldmeri language?

    There is an Aylied language on the UESP which might help: https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Ayleid_Language

    Not sure about a more modern Altmer one though, I will tag @Enodoc as he's our resident lore hero.

    There are quite a few resources found through google. I geeked out to choose a lore friendly name for an Altmer and found there are lot's of contradictions between websites, so when possible go to the source (usually in game books that are also available online) to decide if you agree with the translation.

    As well as UESP, you also can check the Imperial library, a good link to start with is
    https://www.imperial-library.info/content/hrafnirs-languages-nordic#Aldmeris

    It should take you to the Aldmeri section, it is quite long but there is a comprehensive list of translations towards the bottom.

    Just to note that Hrafnir's language work is technically a fan creation, but it is definitely the best expansion of Tamrielic languages that exists, and it is used by mod projects like Beyond Skyrim and Project Tamriel. I believe that Bethesda may have also adopted a bit of it themselves.
