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.
