 | | The Mannish languages, such as Adûnaic (or Númenorean), Taliska, and Drúedainic and Khuzdul, the secret language of the Dwarves are probably not represented well enough in Tolkien's writings for us to derive a clear ideas of them. | | | However complete these languages, though, it is clear that Tolkien understood that the core of any his creature's personalities is the language they speak. | | | The elvish languages, Telerin, Doriathrin/Ilkorin, and Nandorin are less well developed but there are many words in Tolkien's writings that give us an idea of what they are like. |

| | Grave Matters 3 August 2003 ::: The Barrow-Downs |
| | I'm afraid I had a little trouble with your request, as the word "monopoly" is not familiar to me (my great-great-great-grandfather having banned the use of tongues less noble than our own Adûnaic). | | | But after consultation with my wise men Merriam and Webster, I have come to understand it to mean "exclusive ownership through legal privilege". | | | I'm really rubbish at monopoly and my dad always wins, so could you give me some tips? |
