| | Telerin |
 | | Originally esdê was evidently a common noun "repose"; in WJ:404, Pengolodh observes that while the Quenya and Telerin forms (Estë and Éde, respectively) had come to be used only as a name of the goddess, the Sindarin word îdh still had a general meaning "rest". | | | However, the phonology of the two languages differed much, Telerin often being more conservative than Quenya: Finarfin, a speaker of Noldorin Quenya, is said to have learnt Telerin, clearly indicating that it was a language markedly different from his own (UT:229). | | | However, in the Etymologies the Telerin word for "silver" is given as telpe (KYELEP/TELEP), not telepe. |

| | Primitive Elvish - where it all began |
| | Actually the most conservative language seems to be the Telerin of Aman, as least as far as phonology is concerned - but then Telerin was sometimes thought of as a dialect of Quenya, though the Teleri themselves held it to be a separate language. | | | It should be noted that one early idea was rejected later: the notion that the Elves did not invent language on their own, but learnt Valarin from Oromë (LR:168). | | | However, the style of "the ancient tongue" in many respects differed markedly from later Quenya, and generally the word Quenya should not be applied to it at all. |

| | Telerin - Ardaquenta |
| | Telerin is only spoken by the Teleri in Aman, though it seems some Teleri in Middle earth could as well (Celeborn). | | | Only one Telerin word made it into mainstream Quenya: 'Telpë', as a word for silver (originaly Tyelpë in Quenya). | | | Telerin is closely related to Sindarin, though both languages differ in many aspects. |

| | Mellonath Daeron : The Development of the Elvish Languages |
| | Common Telerin: Already when they set out on the Great March, the language of the Teleri was distinct from that of the Vanyar and Noldor, and this distinction was probably strengthened during the long westward march [4]. | | | The exiles kept Quenya as a language of lore and songs, and returned with it, in the Second Age, to Tol Eressea, where it was distinguished as "Eressean" [8]. | | | Common Eldarin: It is unclear wether or not Common Eldarin can be considered a clearly distinguishable language, or if it was just a convenient linguistic term, used when describing elements common in the Eldarin languages (similar to today's usage of "Common Germanic"). |

| | Quenya: Information From Answers.com |
| | 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. | | | However, when Elu Thingol of Doriath, who was the king of the Sindar (Elves of the Telerin line who remained in Beleriand instead of journeying to Valinor) learnt about their slaying of the Teleri, he forbade the use of Quenya in all his realm. | | | This is probably the case because of the enduringly close relationship the Vanyar had with the Valar. |

| | This by itself does not actually prove that Sindarin is more closely related to either Telerin or Quenya, but it does make a strong case for its long separation from both, which is present in both of the histories presented earlier. | | | I have highlighted the correspondences that show greater similarity between Quenya and Telerin in green, those that seem to show stronger relationships between Sindarin and Telerin in purple, and those that show similarities between Quenya and Sindarin in blue. | | | Taking into account that case systems are more likely to be simplified (as happened in English and Romance Languages), and going by the 'majority rules' principle, this would seem to indicate that the proto-language had a case system which Sindarin Lost. |

| | Lord of the Rings Fanatics Plaza: i-Mbar Maethor |
| | The two languages, Quenya and Sindarin, both are derived from a common base language, known as Common Eldarin (Sindarin is based off of the Common Telerin dialect). | | | The Teleri spoke Telerin, which was similar to Quenya, but that will not be spoken of here. | | | The Ñoldor and Vanyar ended up speaking Quenya (each with its own dialect), and the Sindar ended up speaking Sindarin, a language that is radically different in phonology, but is ultimately derived from the same root langauge as Quenya. |

| | THE TOLKIEN FORUM - Quenya or Sindarin......? |
| | Exilic Quenya and Sindarin (a Quenya term) are different languages naturally "related" ~ generally all the Elvish tongues would be related to a common primitive ancestor, working backwards (going deeper back in time) on an imagined and complicated "tree" of Elvish language and dialect. | | | Yes, as Cir said, Sindarin is the common Elvish language, used both by all the Elves and many learned Men in Middle-Earth. | | | And King Thingol's edict to ban the tongue of the "Kinslayers" helped hasten the end of Quenya as a spoken tongue of course. |

| | It was the most prominent descendant of Common Telerin, Common Telerin itself branching off from Common Eldarin, the ancestor of Quenya, Telerin, Sindarin and Nandorin. | | | The development from Common Eldarin to Sindarin involves much more radical changes than the development from CE to Quenya, or to the Telerin of Aman. | | | The prominent name Fëanor is in fact a compromise between pure Quenya Fëanáro and the "correct" Sindarin form Faenor ("correct" in the sense that this is what primitive *Phayanâro would have become in Sindarin, if this name had actually occurred in Common Eldarin in ancient times). |

| | Although the Elvish languages Sindarin and Quenya are the most famous and the most mature languages of all those that Tolkien invented for his mythology, they are by no means the only ones. | | | Most Mannish tongues showed influences by Elvish, as well as some Dwarvish influences. | | | They belong to a whole family of Elvish dialects, that originate in Common Eldarin the language common to all Eldar, which in turn originates in Primitive Quendian, the common root of Eldarin and Avarin languages. |

| | Their common ancestral tongue of Quenya and Sindarin was apparently a case language, but in Sindarin the relevant endings have been lost (though traces of them may be found in some words - for instance, ennas "there" must once have ended in a locative ending similar to Quenya -ssë). | | | THE UNINFLECTED CASES As far as we can tell from what has been published, the Sindarin noun is not inflected for a great number of cases, as in Quenya. |

| | The Boy King, by Erunyauve |
| | Thus it seems likely that Falathrin lay somewhere between Common Telerin (of which we know almost nothing, but it was well-preserved in the Telerin of Aman) and mature Sindarin, which must have developed over the course of the First Age. | | | By the early 500s mature Sindarin was probably in use through most of Beleriand (Doriath and Gondolin being the obvious exceptions), but some very important words might retain the older form, giving the Falathrim an ancient flavor to their speech. | | | Ulumo is a guess at how Old Sindarin might have rendered Valarin Ulubóz, which the elves confused with their root ULU, Common Eldarin ulumó, 'pourer'. |
