Kódjára

Kódjára is a fictional language that appears in the works of author J.R.R. Tolkien. It is presented as a dialect of the language spoken by the Haradrim, the people who inhabit the southern regions of Middle-earth. While Tolkien provided limited examples and grammatical insights into Kódjára, it is understood to be a distinct linguistic entity within his constructed world. The name itself is derived from terms related to "south" or "southern lands" in some of Tolkien's linguistic inspirations. Information regarding Kódjára is primarily found in appendices and linguistic notes within Tolkien's Middle-earth legendarium. It serves to add depth and realism to the diverse cultures and peoples inhabiting his fictional universe, suggesting a complex linguistic landscape beyond the more commonly detailed languages like Elvish or the Common Tongue. Its scarcity in published texts reflects its status as a peripheral language within the narrative, yet it contributes to the overall richness of Tolkien's created world.
