I like Sindarin more personally, but that's just me. It's funner to speak it I think.

Which one should I indulge in? I'm looking for one that's more complete. |

I believe Quenya is the most complete language. I like Sindarin but I personally have been trying to learn Quenya in my spare time. |

tolkien favoured quenya and wrote more stuff in it but sindarin has supposedly got a larger dictionary. |

I like Sindarin. If I understand correctly, it's what the wood elves speak, and I know that the high elves speak Quenya, but do they also speak Sindrain? I dont think so. Never mind. But I do like Sindarin. All the elves are speaking it! Ahhhhh! resist peer preasure! Do it! everbody is! No! Yes! NO! YES! I hate you! I hate you more! Waaaaaaaaa! *boom* that was a random sequence |

Quenya is indeed the more complete language, because Tolkien loved it more than any other language. Personally, I believe Sindarin to be more beautiful in pronounciation and spelling. |

Well think of it this way: Quenya is based on Latin and Finnish, and learning Latin can be quite hard but it is a well loved language. Sindarin is based on Welsh, and learning Welsh is quite simple (I'm welsh myself) but it is not as unique and not that much of an admired language as latin. |

Well, Quenya was what the Elves spoke in the Elder Days in Aman and such; Sindarin was the tongue of the Sindar. The Noldor should know Quenya, as they used to speak it before Thingol banned Quenya after the Kinslaying. So, Sindarin became the 'conversational' tongue, though Quenya remained a language of lore; it was still the mother tongue of some, like Galadriel. In Lothlórien in the Third Age, even the Galadhrim spoke Sindarin, albeit with a Silvan accent. Quenya was the "High Tongue", the noblest language, and Sindarin was Grey-elven, the language of Beleriand. But as for size of their attested corpus, there is more grammar known and examples/vocabulary given for Quenya. With Quenya, the case system is a bit difficult to learn at first; however, with Sindarin, if you've never heard of lenition it can take a while to get used to. |

Quenya. It's way cooler. 
Well, it attracts me, I am forced to admit =P and its grammary is complete while the Sindarin one is not (sp.). So ... stick to Quenya.

CoughSindarincough I really only favor it because it was based on Welsh and I'm fascinated with the Welsh language. Both forms of Elvish are very beautiful.  Good luck!

I prefer Quenya. I learned it first and now I'm better in Quenya than in Sindarin. I love it to write elvish poems, and Sindarin isn't practicable for this, so I use mainly Quenya. I think my Sindarin's quite dead I-) |
