'''Quenya''' is an Elvish language. It was spoken by the Vanyar and Noldor in Valinor. When the Noldor returned to Middle-earth in the First Age, they brought the Quenya language with them. In the Second Age and especially the Third Age, Quenya was used in Middle-earth more as a scientific and ritual language, which prompted Tolkien to nickname Quenya the "Elf-[[Latin language|Latin]]".
