  Doriathrin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tolkien's legendarium, Doriathrin is an extinct dialect of the conlang Sindarin.
Doriathrin, the flavour of Sindarin spoken by the Sindar of Doriath, the heart region of Beleriand, was seen as an archaic variant of Sindarin, contrasting with the more common dialect Falathrin.
Doriathrin became extinct at the end of the First Age after Beleriand was destroyed, although some of the oldest written material preserved in Númenor was written in this dialect, likely taken by refugees from Doriath to Arvernien, and from there to Númenor.

 Doriathrin
Perhaps by political decision, Doriathrin is a form of Sindarin, the language of Thingol's subjects - though the king despised the Northern dialect of Grey-elven (PM:369, 372).
Doriathrin Eld was probably meant to descend from *eledâ, while egla- was to be derived from *edelâ with d and l transposed.
In Doriathrin, the ending -inâ comes out as -en; the original final vowel umlauted the preceding i to e before it was lost (for another example of A-umlaut producing E from I, cf.

 Doriathrin - Langmaker
Doriathrin was written by J.R.R. Tolkien as artlang]].
Helge writes, "Some competent people feel that the Doriathrin of the Etymologies - which is the language this article is concerned with - is no longer a 'valid' tongue in the mythos as elderly Tolkien had come to see his linguistic scenario.
Tolkien's languages were derived by his phonoaesthetics and out of Elvish etymology.

 Doriathrin
Thus, Doriathrin did make it into the mature form of the mythos.
Doriathrin was generally archaic: "The speech of Doriath...was even in the days of Túrin more antique than that used elsewhere.
One thing (as Mîm observed) of which Túrin never rid himself, despite his grievance against Doriath, was the speech he had acquired during his fostering.

 The Grey Havens - Middle-earth: Ilkorin - a "lost tongue"?
The word thúren "guarded, hidden" from the stem THUR- "hedge in" seems to argue the existence of a past participle in -en, presumably the cognate of Quenya -ina.
From the above it is clear that Ilkorin is very similar to Doriathrin, as would be expected since Tolkien conceived them as closely related languages.
Doriathrin and Ilkorin should be considered dialects of the same language.

 Eluréd and Elurín : OOC: Character summary of the Twins.
The twins survived however, avoiding wolves by climing trees, using their small knowledge of edible plants to barely sustain themselves and sheltering in some of the less ravanged caves of Menegroth over the 5 years since the kinslaying.
They are malnourished, scarred from encounters with unfriendly beasts, dirty, dressed in rags and have regressed to speaking only their own dialect of twinspeak - a gibberish only they understand that has some faint resemblance to Doriathrin Sindarin as that was the dialect they spoke before.

 KMC Forums - Ilkorin
From the above it is clear that Ilkorin is very similar to Doriathrin , as would be expected since Tolkien conceived them as closely related languages.
Doriathrin and Ilkorin should be considered closely related dialects of the same language; indeed Tolkien sometimes seems to use the term "Ilkorin" with reference to all the dialects of Beleriand, including Doriathrin.
The element ar- "outside" that is prefixed to Argad, Argador is derived from the stem AR2 (LR:349), not itself defined but probably meaning much the same as the Quenya preposition ara "outside, beside", the first word listed in this entry in the Etymologies.
