In J. R. R. Tolkien 's Fictional Universe of Middle-earth , Common Telerin is the primordial tongue of the Teleri or Lindar clan of the Elves . It split off Common Eldarin at some time during the Great Journey , which itself split off Primitive Quendian , the original language of all Quendi , or Elves. Its descendants are the language of the Teleri of Valinor , as well as Sindarin , and the various Nandor in languages. The language of the Teleri of Valinor was influenced by and in turn influenced Quenya , and these languages remained very closely related and mutually intelligible. One Telerin change was that where Quenya uses 'QU' (KW), Telerin typically uses 'P'. This parallels a similar real-life change in Brythonic Celtic languages, including Welsh , which has similarities to and may have been an inspiration for Sindarin. SEE ALSO |
