	Sindarin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sindarin was said to be more changeful than the older tongue, however, and there were a number of regional 'dialects' of the tongue.
		Sindarin is the language referred to as the Elven-tongue in The Lord of the Rings.
		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.

	Sindar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the Second and Third Age, Sindarin became known as the Noble Tongue, and became the Elvish tongue used in daily speech throughout Middle-earth (helped by the decree of Thingol, who forbade the use of the Ñoldorin language in his realm).
		Sindarin eventually replaced Ñoldorin Quenya as the language used by the Ñoldor in Beleriand, even in predominantly Ñoldorin settlements, with the exception of Gondolin, where Turgon revived Quenya.
		The Peredhil, Elrond and Elros, were partially of Sindarin Elven descent, as their mother Elwing was the daughter of Dior, the son of Lúthien, the daughter of Thingol and Melian.

	The Sindarin & Morsina
		The Sindarin are immune to human diseases, tending to suffer from ailments of the spirit rather than those of the flesh.
		A possible, if somewhat unlikely, reason for the slow decline of the Sindarin in the past millenia is the gradually increasing amount of inter-breeding with the humans; this results in the birth of an Aenarin (Sindar for "half-elf" or "half-kin").
		Sindarin poetry is often written in the form of a ballad; though most of their imagery is highly symbolic and rather hard for humans to understand, the beautiful descriptions and lilting rhythms capture the attention of most listeners.

	Sindarin - the Noble Tongue
		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 what way their Sindarin differed from the forms of Beleriand - see [LotR1] II 6, where Frodo reports that the speech of the Silvan folk that they used among themselves was unlike that of the West - is not of course now known.
		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.

	TolkienWiki: Sindarin
		In SecondAge Sindarin was spoken in the realms of the Sindar who ruled over the 'lesser' Silvan Elves, like Lorien and Mirkwood, and this was true of course in Lindon and Eriador.
		Sindarin was also the noble speech in Numenor, used for formal documents or the daily speech of royal families, until it was banned along with everything Elvish during the Shadow.
		Sindarin was in use anywhere Elves lived and this is the reason why it is known simply by the term Elvish.

	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.

	Aim of the Sindarin Survival Project
		Sindarin, the Noble Tongue, is sure to be one of Tolkiens most beautiful languages.
		Tolkien really worked on Sindarin to make it fit his concept of beauty: when he changed his mind, he also changed the history of the Elvish people to reflect the language.
		The Sindarin Survival Project or SSP intends to gather information about the language, and to spread knowledge of Sindarin among Tolkien fans.

	Sindarin Lenition
		In his "Sindarin, the Noble Tongue", H.F. moreover is stating that - also without any particle of that kind mentioned - in a sentence Lenition is required for indicating "direct" (accusative) objects.
		Since we've got an authentical translation for "hi" as "now", and it is attested that "now/here" in Sindarin is "si/sí", our deduction is obvious that "hi" is the lenited form of "si".
		Normally, a direct (accusative) object pointed to by a predicate is indicated by Lenition (Soft Mutation), except for sentences or subordinate clauses beginning with "ar" (and) as far as these do not have a predicate of their own.

		In the Sindarin guidebook in your November-December issue, I noticed that for "I love you" you have "Le mellon".
		In Sindarin, a verb can indicate the subject (the person who is doing the action) without actually using a separate word (like "im", which means "I") for the subject.
		In Sindarin too, a pronoun (a word like him, her, them, you, me, or us), when it represents the person or thing which an action is done to, usually comes before the verb.

		Salo takes an interesting approach: he decides in the main body of the text to enter into the fictional world completely, so explanations for puzzling phenomena or inconsistencies in the texts and etymologies must be given in terms bounded by Tolkien's fictional forms.
		I would, slightly guiltily, like to have seen a detailed explanation of his reasoning for the Sindarin dialogues he composed for the film trilogy: this is, as he fully admits, reconstructed Sindarin, but it was a lovely idea and had most beautiful effect.
		The historical chart of the emergence of Sindarin better explains some of the material in The Silmarillion, and the overall historical prose explanation of the development of the different phases of Elvish was most helpful.
