A wizard did it. Tom Send a noteboard - 20/11/2018 04:14:46 PM

Seriously, of course it makes no sense. Immortal elves would all speak exactly the same language because they don't die and generational changes create the evolution of language.

Also, presumably the Valar created them all. The idea that some would speak one language and others another makes no sense. Even men should have spoken the same language initially.

Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius
