	khuzdul
		Elvish interest in Khuzdul was low in the First Age, but there was at least one exception: "Curufin was most interested in the alien language of the Dwarves, being the only one of the Ñoldor to win their friendship.
		Khuzdul also possesses unaspirated stops, like French and Russian k and t, but unlike the situation in both English, French and Russian, Khuzdul k and t are phonemes in their own right, that must be distinguished from kh and th.
		LotR Appendix E refers "the clear or glottal beginning of a word with an initial vowel that appeared in Khuzdul": It may be, then, that a glottal stop does duty for the initial consonant in a word of such a shape.

		Among the Languages, Khuzdul is unique in belonging to a separate language phylum, not related to the languages of Elves.

		In both Khuzdul and the Semitic languages, there are usually three radicals in the root; several such roots are mentioned in TI:174 and RS:466: B-R-Z "red", B-N-D "head", K-B-L "silver", N-R-G "fl".

		According to the Lhammas, Khuzdul is unique in belonging to a separate language family, Aulëan, not related to the languages of Elves, which are in the Oromëan language family.
		There are many similarities between Khuzdul and the native tongues of men, such as Taliska, the language of the first and third houses of the Edain.
		In addition, the name of the language may have been intended by Tolkien to evoke the Khazars, a Turkish people said to have converted to Judaism in the 7th century CE.

		Khuzdul, in Middle-earth, was always perceived to be a harsh-sounding language, which was used only by the Dwarves.
		Very few Elves were allowed in their circle, and even then, most elvish philologists avoided Khuzdul, for to them, it was an unpleasant language.
		This is justified by Gimli's revering and friendly reaction towards Galadriel when she spoke Mirrormere's name in Khuzdul.

	KHUZDUL (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		With the exception of a few fragments and place-names, Tolkien gives us little insight into the Dwarvish tongue (as the Dwarves kept their tongue secret, it is natural that little of it should have survived in records).
		During the Third Age, the Dwarves seem to have considered Khuzdul in much the same way as the Elves of Middle-earth looked on Quenya, as an ancient and noble tongue of the past.
		The Dwarves would more commonly speak, even among themselves, in the native tongues of the regions in which they lived, to the extent that they took their names from these languages.

		Later on they used Khuzdul only as language of lore and preserved it as part of their heritage.
		The House of Hador learned Khuzdul from the Dwarves but these “did not reveal their Dwarvish names to members of other races for reasons Elves nor Men understood, so Dwarves adopted Mannish names in their daily speech with Men”.(PoME: 304)
		Even though they did not like teaching their language, they did not completely deny others the possibility to learn it, for example the House of Hador.
