Vanyarin Quenya, also sometimes called Quendya to distinguish it from the Noldorin Quenya, is the dialect of the language as spoken by the Vanyar in Valimar.
History
Since the Noldor came to Middle-earth and their language became known among the Sindar, the Silvan and afterwards the Dunedain, Vanyarin is considered a less known, elusive language, spoken only in Valinor.
The speech of the Vanyar was more conservative than that of the Noldor who were more innovative. The Vanyarin loremasters should give their assent before any changes introduced by the Noldor should be considered genuine Quenya in their common speech community.</ref>Vinyar Tengwar 41, page 7</ref> One of those changes was the consonant -r in plural words instead of -i, which the Vanyar adopted.[1]
Also the Vanyar being closest to the Valar, had many Valarin loanwords in their language.[1]
