Elvish language

This is a very misterious language and also the most pure language of middle earth, talking about the context of Tolkien’s book. This language embodies the perfection of Elfic society among the books. It is said that this language is pure as tolkien tough of it as a language that could built fromcevery single word perfection as the most important caractheristic of them as a culture. They look forward beauty by speaking, writing and talking between them. In elfic language everything gets poetic, as them are usually seen as the most developed society in the books. Emotions and feelings are printed in every word. They were not into communication as we think of it, they conceived language as a form of trascending meaning and taking it beyond what we built around communication.

There is a certain difficult level, as Gandalf proved by learning the language, and showed how hard was to go over the “mprtal” language structures and immerge in new varieties of constructing meaning. Poetics are all around the elfic, and there is a lot of things to say about them, what is certain, is its fictional origin; anyways, elfic language is very different in movies compared to the books, e obviously the author was able to explore much more. Elfic was not tought to be talked by humans, as in the movie is shown how it happens when Eowym falls in love with Aragorn. This language embodies social status and also, implies the Elf race immortality which is proven to be a other of the elements that makes of this language in its contexts the best among them as the other one as not as old, and had been affected by it, becoming not languages but dialects. This language was tough from an oriental perspective and when it is written, you can deveil that they do not necessarily say things in a literal way but using metaphors.
