 ====== Quenya ======

+<wrap tengwar></wrap>(Quenya) is a constructed language created by [[lb:tolkien]] for his [[lb:legendarium|Legendarium]]. It is the language of the High Elves – the Vanyar and the Noldor. By the Third Age of Middle-Earth, it's only a scholarly language.\\
+It is primarily written using [[lb:tl:tengwar]],((:fn:>In the Classical Mode.)) but it's also written using the [[lb:tl:Sarati]].
-By the Third Age of Middle-Earth, it's only a scholarly language.
+Quenya is also known as the ‘Elvish Latin’ or the Latin/Finnish Elven language.
 I personally prefer Quenya over [[lb:tl:Sindarin]], despite the latter (apparently) being the more popular language.

+===== Notes =====
+==== Neo-Quenya ====
+I haven't quite decided yet, but I'm pretty sure that (unless stated otherwise) when I say //Quenya//, I'll be referring to //Neo-Quenya//. Though, again, I haven't decided yet.
+The reason I'm thinking of doing this is for the simple fact that I want to learn Quenya and then integrate Quenya into this wiki somehow. Whether that be thru the articles on linguistics or just for fun.\\
+And because Tolkien never finished Quenya, that naturally means I'd be using //Neo-//Quenya.\\
+But the reason I'm thinking about whether I should explicitly call it Neo-Quenya or not is that I don't want to be misleading. Neo-Quenya isn't really the language that Tolkien envisioned.
+I'm considering just calling it something else entirely too, though I'm not sure //what//.
 ===== Dialects =====
 The Quenya that we know the most about is the one spoken by the Noldor, who arrived in Middle-Earth in the First Age. It was from them that the language became the ‘elf-latin’ that we all know and love. Third Age Quenya is descended from this Noldorin one.
