Examples

Although the Elvish languages Sindarin and Quenya are the most famous and the most developed of the languages that Tolkien invented for his Secondary World, they are by no means the only ones. Source: Internet

After the publication of The Lord of the Rings (1954–1955), the grammar rules of his major Elvish languages Quenya, Telerin and Sindarin went through very few changes (this is late Elvish 1954–1973). Source: Internet

For the transliteration of this alphabet, meant to be used for more than one language (for Quenya and Sindarin, at least) and needing a bigger set of sounds, Tolkien thought up to a kind of general Middle-earth languages phonetic transcription, here used. Source: Internet

Pronunciation of Quenya and Sindarin Sindarin and Quenya have a very similar pronunciation. Source: Internet

Not to be confused with Sindarin "ch" pronounced /x/ and here transliterated with "kh". Source: Internet

The letters of the earlier alphabet native to Sindarin were called cirth (singular certh, probably from *kirte "cutting", and thus semantically analogous to Quenya sarat). Source: Internet
