Tolkien's legendarium, North Sindarin is an extinct dialect of the conlang Sindarin.
During this time North Sindarin was changed much, partially due to the adoption of Quenya features, and partially due to the love of the Noldor for making linguistic changes.
North Sindarin retained many features of Archaic Sindarin which had been lost in the Sindarin of Beleriand proper, but also went through several changes of its own: lenition occurred far less in this dialect than in the other dialects.

  Sindarin - The Lord of the Rings Wiki - A Wikia wiki
Sindarin is the language referred to as the Elven-tongue in The Lord of the Rings.
North Sindarin, the dialects originally spoken in Dorthonion and Hithlum by the Sindar, these dialects contained many unique words and were not fully intelligible with the Sindarin of Beleriand proper.
During the Second Age and Third Age Sindarin was a lingua franca for all Elves and their friends, until it was displaced as the Common tongue by Westron, a descendant of Adûnaic which was heavily influenced by Sindarin.

 The Grey Havens - Middle-earth: Ilkorin - a "lost tongue"?
Edward Kloczko has argued that Tolkien turned Ilkorin into the obscure "northern dialect" of Sindarin, the tongue of the Mithrim; his original article is reproduced as an Appendix.
This system is also used in the spelling of Sindarin; in that language, it denotes that in monosyllables, long vowels tend to become especially long.
The Exiled Noldor learned first North Sindarin, since they came first to that region (Mithrim), and so it was they who introduced in the late First Age Sindarin tim from North Sindarin, with the sense 'star from the Dome of Varda'.

 Mellonath Daeron : Attested Sindarin Plurals
The name "Sindarin" marks a new conception, in which this language is the hereditary language of the Elves of Doriath and their kindred, adopted by the Noldor in Beleriand.
In the absence of a detailed analysis of when in the process the later patterns were established, the nominal change to "Sindarin" from "Noldorin" is here used to delimit the later stage of the language from the earlier, potentially discordant, material.
Sindarin Y is said to be often derived from EU and IU (LR App.E I Vowels:3): the example that is cited, the Sindarin equivalent to Q leuca, is given as ly^g in the first edition, and the later loss of the circumflex may be inadvertent.

 General History of Hârnic Religion
Few Sindarin recall the divine presence with clarity, but surviving songs from this era present Siem as a loving and benevolent teacher who taught his adoptive children to appreciate the natural beauty of the world and to understand their place in the Cosmic All.
The Khuzdul, like the Sindarin, revered Siem from the earliest times, viewing him more as a 'teacher' to be learned from than as a powerful entity with whom one needed to cultivate a personal relationship.
Old Sindarin and Jarin tales allude vaguely to 'the people of the weirding stones', and a few scholars believe there are connections between them and the Molkuran 'Ziggurat Culture' but more concrete information is absent.

 Sindarin - the Noble Tongue
Which of these was the basis of the Sindarin spoken in later Ages is not known with certainty, but the tongue of the Falathrim seems the best candidate, since Doriath was destroyed and what very little we know about North Sindarin suggests that it differed from the Sindarin of Frodo's day.
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).
In Sindarin, the situation is the opposite: the trick of changing the vowels is the usual way of forming the plurals, and only a few words display some kind of ending in the plural.

Quenya was taken to Numenor by the Edain as the language of ancient lore and wisdom.
Sindarin was originally the language of the Grey Elves of Beleriand (a region in the north-west of Middle-earth), however it became the lingua franca of all Elves in Middle-earth throughout the First and Second Ages.
The Sindarin equivalent (possibly Dunador) is never used, indicating that Sindarin speakers used the Quenya name.

 : I Adab-nan-Falas Library :Greenwood the Great Mirkwood Eryn Lesgalen
He ruled a great kingdom of Silvan Elves in Greenwood the Great (later Mirkwood, later Eryn Lasgalen), which original dwellings were in the far south of the wood (Amon Lanc to be exact), but because of the increasing population of the Dwarves in Moria, they withdrew Northward beyond the Gladden Fields.
Despite the desire of the Silvan Elves to meddle as little as might be in the affairs of the Noldor and the Sindar, or of any other peoples, Dwarves, Men or Orcs, Oropher had the wisdom to foresee that peace would not return unless Sauron was overcome.
The Elves, Men and Dwarves quickly forgot their differences in the face of this new threat, and battle was joined on the slopes of Erebor and the valley beneath.

 The history of the Elven Realm of Mirkwood | Lord of the Rings Fanatics Library   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
The Sindarin Elves were more noble and refined than the somewhat rustic Silvan Elves, and naturally they became leaders of the realm, just as in Lothlórien.
The people of Greenwood were numerous, but as the power of Moria grew, and Galadriel and Celeborn settled in Lórien, Oropher chose to retreat to the north of Mirkwood to be free from their power (and having come from Doriath, Oropher had little friendship with the Dwarves, or with the Noldor).
The Third Age was quiet for the Elves of Greenwood, but the evil fortress of Dol Guldur, which arose in the first millennium of the age, polluted their southern borders and remained a constant threat.

Sindarin is an artificial language (or conlang) developed by J.
Sindarin was designed to have a Welsh-like phonology.

 Ilkorin
In Sindarin, it seems that the abstract ending -eth was later generalized and could be added to stems with any stem-vowel; we have no examples to show us whether this was also the case in Ilkorin.
Quenya norno and Sindarin doron together point to a primitive form *doronô, where the final -ô may simply be the stem-vowel reduplicated, lengthened and suffixed (-ô may also be a masculine ending, but this does not seem fitting here).
This is not how primitive ht develops in Sindarin; instead of h being lost and the preceding vowel being lengthened, ht was assimilated to tt in Old Sindarin, later becoming th in Classical Sindarin (the cognate of Ilkorin gôd being gwath).

 The Hands of Darkhold
Lost in an orc raid on a caravan when she was young, Sindarin's life was forever changed when she was tortured at the hands of her captors.
When his men were finished with her, the leader had her throat cut open and her larynx mangled by foul craft to forever silence her voice and tossed her into the forest to die.
Here Sindarin spent her adolescence; her voiceless anger was tempered and edged into a lethal weapon.

The dark and green elves of the south primarily spoke Sindarin.
As they disappeared from the surface of Faerun, so did Sindarin, which developed into the tongue of the Drow (described in Ed Greenwood's writings.) Most remaining elves shunned the Sindarin tongue, choosing to adopt the new, well-evolved version of Quenya spoken in the north, now just called Elvish.

 Welcome to the New Middle-Earth, Pilgrim!
North America was blessed with a substantial cross-section of younger sons and daughters who, leaving the English gentry and mercantile classes, brought some wealth but much knowledge and a determination to establish their families in the New World, to the colonies.
They built up an educational, literary, and industrial foundation upon which North American culture was built by succeeding generations (all influenced by millions of immigrants from around the world).
It is therefore reasonable to infer that Elendil's arrival in Middle-earth unleashed a cultural revolution which forever changed the social and technological map of the northern world.

 Figwit Lives! Aegnor FAQ
Aegnor is a Sindarin name adapted from the Quenya name Aikanár which means "fell fire" or "sharp flame".
The Sindarin form of this would have been Amrod; but to distinguish this from Angrod, and also because he preferred it, he used his mother name.
It was in part a ‘prophetic’ name; for he was renowned as one of the most valiant of the warriors, greatly feared by the Orks: in wrath or battle the light of his eyes was like flame, though otherwise he was a generous and noble spirit.
