Just wondering if this is a correct Sindarin alphabet to write Sindar in?

Elrond ~ "I give Hope to men". Aragorn ~ "I keep none for myself".

From what I learned back in the day, I don't know if a direct translation to the 26 English letters can be completely accurate. I'd be curious where whoever made that chart got their information.

Maybe this chart would be more accurate to what Tolkien gave us in the Appendices (which by the way is also to English letters.

And by the way, welcome to the Council of Elrond!

Eighth King of Arthedain - It was in battle that I come into this Kingship, and it will be in Battle when I leave it. There is no peace for the Realm of Arnor. Read the last stand of Arthedain in the Darkest of Days.

No, both charts show the way you use tengwar when you want to write English.
A very good description for writing Sindarin with tengwar can be found in following document: http://www.forodrim.org/daeron/teng-sin.pdf

Good day

I would like to have the Tengwar font on my phone as it is the device that I am using the most and will aid in learning the new alphabet the quickest. And pretty nice in general.

Is this possible and how?
Kind regards

Hello, the font Tengwar Telcontar is Unicode so it is very suitable to use on your phone:
