Beörians

The Beörians or Beörim were the first house of the Edain.They were akin to many Men who had stayed behind in Eriador (around the Evendim lands and the North Downs), the Misty Mountains, northern Rhovanion and the eastern shores of the Inland Sea of Rhûn.The suviving Edain of Beleriand either flew across the Ered Luin and contributed to the people of Eriador and Rhovanion, or settled the Island of Númenor to become known as the Númenoreans - the Dúnedain.The Beörians were the most numberous group among the latter faction.

Appearance
The Beorians were a tall, dark-haired and brown- or grey-eyed folk, a bit darker of complexion than the Hadorians but also generally more slender and gracile than the sturdy Halethians.

Language
The Beörian language was closely related to Marachian, or both were dialects of one single language - Taliska.After the remnants of the House of Beör had settled on Númenór the Marachian dialect evolved into Adûnaic while the Beörian language slowly died out.The Eriedaic language of the Downsmen in second Age Eriador was believed to have been closely related to Beörian.
