Legolas, the Prince of the Woodland Realm in J.R.R. Tolkien's legendarium, is a Sindarin Elf, and it is widely believed that Sindarin is the Elvish language he speaks. Sindarin is one of two primary Elvish languages invented by Tolkien, the other being Quenya. In Middle-earth, Sindarin was more commonly spoken and used in everyday conversations by the Grey Elves. At the same time, Quenya was reserved for formal settings and religious ceremonies by the High Elves. Legolas is depicted as fluent in both Sindarin and Westron, the common tongue of Middle-earth, in the "Lord of the Rings" books and movies. He is well-known for his archery skills, keen eyesight, and loyalty to his companions.
