+<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.

 I may detail a little more about it (and what it may look like) once I learn a little more...and also stop being so lazy.
+===== Trivilinks =====
+  * [[tlkg>Quenya]]
+  * [[https://eldamo.org/intro-quenya/index.html|Eldamo Introductory Quenya]]
+    * A course on learning Neo-Quenya by Paul Strack (the guy making the Eldamo).
+  * [[https://eldamo.org/content/search/search.html?neo|Neo-Eldarin Search – Eldamo]]
+    * I'm specifically linking to the part of Eldamo where you can search thru Neo-Quenya words, because I feel that would be more useful to more people. However, there are additional ‘search types’ that you can access on Eldamo.

+    * Parf Edhellen is a dictionary of Neo-Elvish, which includes Quenya. I personally haven't used it as I'm mostly satisfied with Eldamo (for now).
