Just
thought I'd make a little poll to start things off in here. I might be
just ever so slightly biased on the subject but - vote and discuss
here. ![Smile](Quenya%20or%20Sindarin1_files/icon_smile.gif) |

Argh, look at that! It looks like that half-human half-breed messed us up. What can you say, he is related to Thingol. ![Wink](Quenya%20or%20Sindarin1_files/icon_wink.gif) _________________ 'But

I
was thinking more along the lines of spanglish for elves. A weird mix
of both while everyone was in the middle of adapting (or not adapting)
to needing to be able to speak both. ![Very Happy](Quenya%20or%20Sindarin1_files/icon_biggrin.gif) _________________ 'Do you hear the people sing,

Dwarvish.
Or Animalic. Then Orcish. The Orcish of the Misty Mountains, of course.
Then the Orcish of Mordor. Are there any other languages? Westron, I
suppose. Doobedoobedoo... Hm. Wasn't there some elfy race in there
somewhere? oh well. So forgettable. ![Rolling Eyes](Quenya%20or%20Sindarin1_files/icon_rolleyes.gif) _________________ Strength and stupidity in numbers.
