 | | Outside the fiction, the grammar of Quenya was influenced by Finnish, which is an agglutinative language; grammatical inspiration also came from Latin and Greek. | | | The Quenya used in Middle-earth of the Third Age (the time of the setting of The Lord of the Rings) had come to be a scholarly pursuit — something akin to Latin in our time. | | | The Third House, the Teleri, spoke a different, closely related language, Telerin, although this was by some seen as a dialect of Quenya, which is untrue in a historic perspective but plausible in a linguistic one; the languages do not share a common history, but are very much alike. |

| | Quenya - the Ancient Tongue |
| | These would be writings written by the Noldor during their exile, after their language had diverged slightly from Amanian Quenya (in particular by the loss of the accusative case): "Exilic conditions...made necessary the writing down anew from memory of many of the pre-Exilic works of lore and song" (PM:332). | | | This is because Quenya cannot have a long vowel immediately in front of a consonant cluster, and most A-stem verbs do have a consonant cluster following the stem-vowel that would normally be lengthened in the perfect tense. | | | In fact, the Silmarillion Index refers to Quenya as "the ancient tongue, common to all Elves, in the form it took in Valinor" in Aman - as if Quenya was so similar to Primitive Elvish that it was merely as a later form of it, not a new language. |

| | In this case, it is near the speaker, so whatever book is nearest the person to whom we are speaking is the one that he or she is talking about. | | | These four examples illustrate the declension of all four types of Quenya adjectives; represented are those of the A-Class, E-Class, EA-Class and Consonant-Class, the latter of which is very uncommon. | | | Another matter of importance when suffixing the possessive morphemes to Quenya nouns is cacophonous clusters, or “ugly letter combinations.” For instance, “my father” translates as atarinya rather than atarnya, as the -rn- cluster is difficult to pronounce. |
