Vanyar

The direct descendants of the Minyar, the first host of the Elves to awake at Cuivienen and the people of Inium, the Vanyar had golden hair and fair skin, with eyes of clear blue or violet. They were the tallest and most beautiful of the Elves, beloved of the Valar.Ingwe was their King, and as such he was formal High-[[King] of all the [[Eldar. Their musical skills were unsurpassed, except perhaps by the Lindar (Teleri) who learned the art of song from the Maia Osse. The Vanyar spoke the Vayarin dialect of Quenya, the western variant of the original tongue of the Eldar, which was in fact the Elvish version of Valarin, the mental language of the Valar.
