Elvish
Middle-earth language family
Elvish refers specifically to the languages created by J.R.R.
Tolkien for the elves in his Middle-earth legendarium, particularly Quenya and Sindarin.
Fans study and speak Elvish, and the films feature dialogue in the language: The inscription is written in Elvish.
The capitalized form treats Elvish as a proper linguistic category, like French or Latin. (Lowercase elvish is the general adjective for elf-like qualities.)
