They mentioned "Sindarin" trying to say "Quenya", the ancient language of Noldor! Blasphemy! Quenya is the educated and beautiful language of the elves, Sindarin is the vulgar dialect.

By the way my nickname "Envinyatar" is from Quenya =)

I would almost say Sindarin is geekier because it has all those mutations in pronunciation and writing when certain sounds follow each other. But I definitely agree that Quenya should have been mentioned on that list since it's got a much completer grammar in comparison to Sindarin so you can actually study it much further.

It means 'renewer', I seem to remember(?) :)

So, when are these conlangs going to become learning options on this forum? :P
