  • Language(s):
    • Doriathren

      This dialect was spoken by the Sindar in Beleriand before Morgoth and the Noldor arrived. Later it was preserved in Doriath, no doubt do to Melian’s Girdle which preserved and protected everything within. It covers a long period of time, and has no influences from Quenya. It has the greatest prestige in Middle-earth.
