Sindarin
(Eglathrin)A) is a constructed language created by J.R.R. Tolkien for his Legendarium. It is the language of the Sindar – the Grey Elves – and, by the Third Age, is the dominant Elven language spoken in Middle-Earth.
It’s primarily written using the Tengwar in the Mode of Beleriand,B) though it has also been written using the Cirth and a few other modes.
Sindarin is also known as the ‘Elven Welsh’ language.
A)
The word ‘Sindarin’ () is, in fact, the Quenya name for Sindarin. ‘sfar as I know, Eglathrin is the ‘correct’ Sindarin term for the language.
B)
As far as I know, the Elves only ever used the Mode of Beleriand to write Sindarin. This is what all ‘canon’ information seems to indicate. Men were the ones who used the tehtar modes.
