Merge w Nandorin?
Should this page be merged with the page for the "Nandorin" language? They are virtually identical and are often used interchangeably with one another being synonymous.--WhiteWizard 15:30, 19 September 2020 (UTC)
- You are right. The Nandorin article relates the language with the Danian Elves, but there is no real difference. --LorenzoCB 15:44, 19 September 2020 (UTC)
- Ok that's good to know. I feel like they could be compressed into one article with sections for the Elder Days and the later ages. I think that this page should be moved to the "Nandorin" article. Let's see what others think!--WhiteWizard 16:45, 19 September 2020 (UTC)
- It seems to me that Nandorin refers to the general FA family, and Silvan the language of TA Rhovanion. Sage 06:07, 20 September 2020 (UTC)
