The Languages of Tolkien's Middle-earth is a book by Ruth S. Noel studying Tolkien's languages. The book is heavily outdated, being published before The Silmarillion and The History of Middle-earth, and even contained errors in the material that already was available at the time.

From the Publisher[edit | edit source]

This is the book on all of Tolkien's invented languages, spoken by Hobbits, Elves, and Men of Middle-earth -- a dictionary of fourteen languages, an English-Elvish glossary, all the Runes and alphabets, and material on Tolkien the linguist.
