Sindarin is one of the constructed languages devised by J. R. R. Tolkien for use in his fantasy stories set in Arda, primarily in Middle-earth. Sindarin is one of the many languages spoken by the Elves. The word Sindarin is Quenya for Grey-elven, since it was the language of the Grey Elves of Beleriand.
The Elvish languages of Middle-earth, constructed by J. R. R. Tolkien, include Quenya and Sindarin. These were the various languages spoken by the Elves of Middle-earth as they developed as a society throughout the Ages.
In Sindarin it meant "Mount Fang", while in the language of Rohan he said it meant "Cunning Mind".

In 2003, when still a graduate student in linguistics at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, Salo was contracted for The Lord of the Rings film trilogy to write all the material in Elvish (particularly Sindarin), Khuzdul (Dwarvish) and other languages for the films, as well as to assist with other language-related items such as the Tengwar and Cirth inscriptions which appear in the films.
By loan-translation, the Tengwar became known as tîw (singular têw) in Sindarin, when they were introduced to Beleriand. The letters of the earlier alphabet native to Sindarin were called cirth (singular certh , probably from *kirte "cutting", and thus semantically analogous to Quenya sarat ).
Sindarin: sjn: an Elvish language, largely inspired by Welsh. Quenya: qya: an Elvish language, largely inspired by Finnish, Latin, and Ancient Greek. Khuzdul: a Dwarvish language, largely inspired by the Semitic languages.
