| Quenya | Ancient tongue common for all elves. One of the best-developed languages of elves. By the time of The Lord of the Rings (Third Age) it became a scholar language not used in colloquial speech like it was the Latin in Middle Ages. The grammar of language was still changing after the publication of LOTR until 1973. Has two major dialects: Vanyarin (language of elves of Valinor, stayed to live there) and Noldorin (or Exilic) Quenya, a speech of elves returned to Middle-Earth. Noldorin Quenya was replaced by Sindarin in real usage during the First Age, while Vanyarin Quenya remains a spoken language of Valinor. | [[wp> | | Quenya | Ancient tongue common for all elves.
