What are the Tolkien languages?

Answer by  HilaryC (1382)

The main ones spoken in the series are Elvish and English. Elvish is seen at the door in the mountain that opens to the Dwarven city. Orcish, Troll and dwarf are other examples of languages spoken in both the books and movies. Though I think Troll consists of mainly grunting.

Tolkien created and fully developed two languages - Quenya and Sindarin. Other languages mentioned, which have few or no grammar instructions, are Varalin, Eldarin, Elvish (with variants of Common Elvish and Proto Elvish), Ilkorin, Doriathrin, Danian, Noldorin dialects (of Mithrim, of Nargothrond, of Gondolin, of the sons of Feanor), Adunaic, Westron, and several others.
