Appendix F-I: The Languages and Peoples of the Third-Age
06 October 3021
Tolkien: "Just about everyone
speaks the same language i.e. the Common Speech
(Westron). But I made up more just for fun."
Of the Elves
(There are TWO
types of Elven language:
- High-elven - insanely FANCY, not used MUCH.
- Grey-elven - just FANCY, used a LOT.)
Of Men
(The Common Speech is basically MAN-MADE but
different races have their OWN languages:
- Númenoreans - spoke Grey-elven, Adûnaic and CREATED 'Westron'.
- Northeners - not too SURE; Common Speech.
- Rohirrim - not too SURE; Common Speech.
- Wild Men - not too SURE; it's GUTTURAL, whatever it is.)
Of Hobbits
(They just
PLAGIARIZE other people's languages. CURRENTLY
they use the Common Speech.)
Of Other Races
(A SELECTION:
- Ents - not too SURE, but it's LONG-WINDED and UNPRONOUNCEABLE.
- Orcs - not too SURE; it's PLAGIARIZED, whatever it is; they also use the Common speech.
- The Black Speech - not too SURE, but we reckon Sauron MADE it UP.
- Trolls - not too SURE; PLAGIARIZED from Orcs, the Black Speech and the Common Speech.
- Dwarves - not too SURE, whatever it is; even THEY don't speak it [don't ask].)
