Template:Noncanon Kornoldorin, 'Old Noldorin', or Korolambë, 'Tongue of Kôr', was the language of the Noldor in Valinor. The Noldor used it beside Qenya, but unlike Qenya, it changed fast as the Noldor deviced new words and structures by themselves.[1]

In the Great Lands, the language evolved as Noldorin through contact with Ilkorin.
