| | The Sindarin & Morsina |
 | | Known to the Sindarin as Ithilor (loosely translated as "Golden Light of the Moon"), the glow seems to be a hypnotic display of celestial enchantment. | | | The Sindarin protect several demihuman races on Hârn from the predations of man; namely, the Ellyl, Gnomes, and Halflings, who live in the Shava Forest among the elves. | | | There is rampant distrust and envy of the Sindarin among the humans, who have no way of knowing that there are two elven races when there are no distinguishing physical diferences. |

| | Sindarin - the Noble Tongue |
| | Sindarin was widely used in Númenor: "Though this people used still their own speech, their kings and lords knew and spoke also the Elven tongue, which they had learned in the days of their alliance, and thus they held converse still with the Eldar, whether of Eressëa or of the westlands of Middle-earth" (Akallabêth). | | | The Sindarin names of the certain Great Tales in the Silmarillion, the Nern in Edenedair or *"Tales of the Fathers of Men", given in MR:373: 1) Narn Beren ion Barahir, "Tale of Beren son of Barahir", also called Narn e·Dinúviel, "Tale of the Nightingale". | | | "Sindarin" is the Quenya name of this language, derived from Sindar *"Grey ones" = Grey-elves; it may be (and is) translated Grey-elven. |

| | The book is written in a highly technical language (at times unnecessarily so), and although there is a glossary of linguistic terms, in order to actually read and understand the text the reader needs more than an elementary knowledge of grammar. | | | [2] 'Sindarin - the Noble Tongue' by Helge Fauskanger on Ardalambion | | | The book represents rather a grammar of Sindarin as Salo thinks it should be, sometimes regardless of what Tolkien wrote. |

| | Sindar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | In the Second and Third Age, Sindarin became known as the Noble Tongue, and became the Elvish tongue used in daily speech throughout Middle-earth (helped by the decree of Thingol, who forbade the use of the Ñoldorin language in his realm). | | | The Peredhil, Elrond and Elros, were partially of Sindarin Elven descent, as their mother Elwing was the daughter of Dior, the son of Lúthien, the daughter of Thingol and Melian. | | | Sindarin eventually replaced Ñoldorin Quenya as the language used by the Ñoldor in Beleriand, even in predominantly Ñoldorin settlements such as Gondolin, although Quenya survived as a language of knowledge. |

| | This is mainly because Quenya works with a lot with suffixes while Sindarin is using prepositions instead. | | | Quenya is the language of those that live[d] in the Blessed Realm, Sindarin is the tongue of the others who stayed behind in fear at the shores of the great sea, of those that call themselves the Lost People, of those that live in the dark woods instead of libraries | | | All in all the two languages have totally different characters and when you for example compare some quotes from LoTR, you will easily be able to tell which is Sindarin and which Quenya, even if you don't understand a single word of it |
