Easterling Tongues

The various peoples and tribes of Eastern Middle-Earth collectively known as Easterlings in the Westlands spoke a number of different tribal languages, all derived from the language of the first men of Hildorien, actually derived from Avarin, the language of the East-Elves, the early teachers of mankind.The first sundering among men happened after the Battle of Palisor when many Men fled the east and spead into the western and southern parts of Middle-Earth, among these Lintador were the ancestors of the Edain but also the ancestors of the Easterlings of the People of Bór and the People of Ulfangas well as the ancestors of the later Haradrim.

In the Second Age the men of the East had divided into several groups including the Steppe-Peoples or Talatherim of Central Middle-Earth, the Linerim or eastern Lake-Peoples of the great inland Lakelands, the Mornerim of the coldest northern Taiga-Woods and the various peoples of the Farthest East and the Southeast, most prominent among them the Aravador, remote eastern cousins of the First House of the Edain.
