awverh

Awverh is a fictional language created by J.R.R. Tolkien for his Middle-earth legendarium. It is an Elvish language, one of the many tongues spoken by the Elves in Tolkien's works. The name "Awverh" translates to "Elvish" in the Elvish languages, reflecting its status as a common tongue among the Elves.

The language is notable for its use in "The Lord of the Rings" and "The Hobbit," where it serves as a means of communication between the Elves and other characters. Awverh is also mentioned in "The Silmarillion," providing insights into the early history of Middle-earth and the Elves.

The grammar and vocabulary of Awverh are not extensively detailed in Tolkien's works, but it is known to have a rich and complex structure, typical of Elvish languages. The language is believed to have evolved from the earlier Elvish tongue Quenya, which was spoken by the High Elves.

Awverh's use in Tolkien's writings has had a significant impact on the development of fantasy literature. Its inclusion in the works has helped to popularize the concept of multiple languages in fantasy settings, influencing many subsequent authors.

Despite its fictional nature, Awverh has gained a dedicated following among fans of Tolkien's works and the fantasy genre in general. Its study and use in role-playing games and other creative endeavors have contributed to its enduring popularity.
