Eldurish

Eldurish is a fictional language created by linguist and fantasy author J.R.R. Tolkien for his Middle-earth legendarium. It is one of the many constructed languages, or conlangs, that Tolkien developed for his works. Eldurish is primarily used in Tolkien's posthumously published work, "The Children of Húrin," which is set in the Second Age of Middle-earth. The language is notable for its complex grammar and phonology, which reflect Tolkien's deep interest in linguistics.

Eldurish is a member of the Quenya language family, which is one of the two major constructed languages used in Middle-earth, the other being Sindarin. Quenya is a highly elaborate and sophisticated language, designed to be the language of the Elves, the immortal beings who inhabit Middle-earth. Eldurish, being a dialect of Quenya, shares many of its grammatical features but has its own unique characteristics.

The language is used by the Elves of the Eldar, a subgroup of the Elves who are the first to arrive in Middle-earth. The Eldar are known for their wisdom and long lifespans, and their language, Eldurish, reflects these qualities. The language is used in various contexts, including poetry, literature, and everyday speech among the Eldar.

Tolkien's creation of Eldurish is a testament to his linguistic prowess and his desire to create a rich and immersive world for his readers. The language, like many of Tolkien's creations, is designed to be both functional and aesthetically pleasing, providing a deeper understanding of the world and its inhabitants.
