'''Avarin''' is a term used to refer to the combined languages of the [[Avari]].<br />
<br />
==Structure==<br />
<br />
There were at least six different languages, or dialects, in the Avarin group.<ref name=Author>{{WJ|Author}}, Note 9, p. 410</ref> The various dialects did not have a common development,<ref name=PE19>{{PE|19}}, pp. 18-28</ref> although all descended from [[Primitive Quendian]].<ref name=Author/><br />
<br />
Three larger divisions of Avarin are recorded: West Avarin, North Avarin and East Avarin. The West Avarin group was nearest to the Eldarin languages of the west; North Avarin was very peculiar, with no initial consonant groups. Not much is known of East Avarin. <ref name=PE19/><br />
<br />
==Other versions==<br />
The Avarin were called [[Lemberin]] tongues which originally intended to have a resemblance in sound to Goidelic, Baltic, and Finnic languages.<ref>[[David Salo]]'s [http://groups.yahoo.com/group/elfling/message/36029 post] in [[Elfling]]</ref><br />
