Tolkien sometimes changed the " meaning " of an Elvish word, but he almost never disregarded it once invented, and he kept on refining its meaning, and countlessly forged new synonyms.

Tolkien invented two subfamilies ( subgroups ) of the Elvish languages.

Known members of the Lambengolmor were Rúmil, who invented the first Elvish script ( the Sarati ), Fëanor who later enhanced and further developed this script into his Tengwar, which later was spread to Middle-earth by the Exiled Noldor and remained in use ever after, and Pengolodh, who is credited with many works, including the Osanwe-kenta and the Lhammas or " The ' Account of Tongues ' which Pengolodh of Gondolin wrote in later days in Tol-eressëa ".

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.

The Elvish form Nírnaeth Arnoediad ( pronounced ; in this case the digraph oe denotes a rounded variant of the sound, more or less like German ' ö ') comes from Sindarin, one of the languages invented by Tolkien, and translates to Tears Uncountable: nîn means ' tear ( s )', in compound nírnaeth ' tears of woe '; prefix ar-bears the sense of ' beyond ' and the root nod-means ' count ', with o umlauted to œ by the following i. J. R. R. Tolkien often omitted the accent over the first vowel ( due to haste or neglect ), and this spelling was introduced into the published Silmarillion by Christopher Tolkien ; in editorial text within later writings, as The War of the Jewels, he used the accented form.

It gave rise to the first Elvish root ever invented: EL -, from which the Common Eldarin word ēl (' star ') is derived.

He and Marshall also contributed a chapter on Tolkien's invented languages to From Elvish to Klingon ( edited by Michael Adams, Oxford University Press, 2011, ISBM 978-0-19-280709-0 ).

In fiction, J. R. R. Tolkien's Elvish languages use a hybrid decimal-duodecimal system, primarily decimal but with special names for multiples of six.

A notable fictional duodecimal system was that of J. R. R. Tolkien's Elvish languages, which used duodecimal as well as decimal.

* Elvish languages ( Middle-earth )

: For Elvish languages in general, see Elvish languages.

J. R. R. Tolkien constructed many Elvish languages.

The Elvish languages were the first thing he imagined for his secondary world.

Tolkien also created scripts for his Elvish languages, of which the best known are the Sarati, the Tengwar, and the Cirth.

The Elvish languages underwent countless revisions in grammar, mostly in conjugation and the pronominal system.

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 ).

Almost each year, new Elvish words are published and the grammar rules of the Elvish languages are disclosed.

The Elvish languages are a family ( or phylum ) of several related languages and dialects.

Here is set briefly the story of the Elvish languages as conceived by Tolkien c. 1965.

: All the Elvish languages are presumed to be descendants of this common ancestor.

The acute accent ( á, é, í, ó, ú ) or circumflex accent ( â, ê, î, ô, û, ŷ ) marks long vowels in the Elvish languages.

Below is a family tree of the Elvish languages, showing how the Primitive Quendian word kwendī " people " ( later meaning " Elves ") was altered in the descendant languages.

There is a tradition of philological study of Elvish languages within the fiction.
