Sindarin was the common language of Mirkwood elves by the 3rd age, but the Sindalië there (including Legolas) there were part of a ruling elite. Presumably the Laegelrim in Mirkwood would still be giving their children Nandorin (or at least Nandorin sounding) names, and not Sindarin ones—as they still kept to Nandorin nomenclature and place-names, albeit in a somewhat Sindar-ified form . Even ‘Legolas’, though Sindarin, is a countrified Sylvan form. ‘Laegolas’ would be correct Sindarin, and even that is quaint and archaic. If he was from anywhere else he would probably just be ‘Calenlas’. Tauriel, like Thranduil, on the other hand is a pure Sindarin. So I think it is fair to guess that Tauriel could be part of the same class of ruling Sindar as Legolas.Ostiariushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03381755316766273496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2727559382305504927.post-41038459369549895202013-06-13T12:26:43.650-07:002013-06-13T12:26:43.650-07:00And by Neuromancer I obviously mean Necromancer.

The fact that both Tauriel and Legolas have Sindarin names is of little consequence. The Silvan elves in the Mirkwood are of Nandarian descent, but they have been ruled by the Sindarin since settling in the Greenwood (before the Neuromancer took up residence and then the forest was referred to as the Mirkwood). <br /><br />That being said, Silvan is also just the distinction to mark them as so-called "Wood Elves." You could also call the Noldor Elves living within Lothlorien Silvan elves. <br />Brittney Cartwrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13496082876480148820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2727559382305504927.post-3034133793490290492013-06-06T01:41:45.309-07:002013-06-06T01:41:45.309-07:00'Daughter of the forest' is a weak name fo...'Daughter of the forest' is a weak name for a wood elf. <br /><br />One point is that both Tauriel and Legolas are Sindarin not Sylvan names, so maybe that is a clue to their relationship? They might both be outsiders of a sort in Mirkwood? That is of course assuming that the film people have bothered with the intricacies of elvish.Ostiariushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03381755316766273496noreply@blogger.com
