Primitive Quendian (Quenya: Quenderin) is a constructed language devised by J. R. R. Tolkien. It is one of the many fictional language set in his Secondary world, often called Middle-earth.
It was the proto-language of the Elves, which they invented after their Awakening.
"The most ancient structure of the tongue common to all the Qendelie is (...) not known to the Elves, through some things may be guessed or discovered by those who will compare one with another the written forms of Eldarin languages of Valinor, together with such records of the Avari as we here in Eressëa have set down in these later days."Read more about Primitive Quendian: Origin, The First Division
