Fictional Languages: Languages of Arda

There are tens of fictional languages that are most common than the rest of the “real” languages spoken by “real” communities. 🙂 Linguistically, they all have their logical structure and vocabulary and they attract thousands of people! 🙂 Yeah, I’m talking about the languages we see in famous movies and science fiction literature.
