Template:Noncanon Kornoldorin, "Noldorin of Kôr", or Korolambë, "Tongue of Kôr", was the language of the Noldoli in Valinor. The Noldor used it beside Qenya, but unlike Qenya, it changed fast as the Noldor devised new words and structures by themselves.[1]
Old Noldorin shares several words with Quenya (like malina, míre, parma, randa, rauta, rimba, rimbe, ringe, runda, síre, yaiwe) and Telerin (branda, Bana, belda)[2]
In the Great Lands, the language evolved as Noldorin through contact with Ilkorin.
Canonicity
In the stage of the later Silmarillion, Tolkien rearranged several details: the language described as Old Noldorin is taken by the Noldorin dialect of Quenya, and the language called Noldorin was renamed "Sindarin" and took the place of the vernacular Ilkorin in Beleriand.
Old Noldorin belongs to a chronological and phonological stage which Sindarin would normally also had passed through; however it is not named or described by Tolkien other than some example etymological reconstructions[3]. Fans name this phase "Old Sindarin".
