Brief Description : "The Ancient Tongue". Also called "High-Elven". One of the Elvish languages invented by J. R. Tolkien, and which were ultimately used in his Lord of the Rings cycle. Based loosely on the "feel" of Finnish, though in the mythos it is related to Sindarin, which is based on the "feel" of Welsh.
