Halethrin or Halethian (Hal.) was an adanic dialect spoken by the House of Haleth. It was removed from the western dialects of the House of Beor and House of Hador and closely related to the Daenael tongues of Enedhwaith and Gondor.Some Loremasters used the term "halethian" for the entire language-family, which included the tongue of the house of Haleth as well as the pre-númenórean daen-dialects and related languages.

It is not entirely clear which names of the men of the house of Haleth are actual Halethian.Some names, including Brandir, Dairuin, Glirhuin, Haldir, Halmir, Handir, Hathol, Hiril, Hundor, Huor, Hurin or Túrin are variously stated to be Noldorin-Sindarin/Goldogrin or Ilkorin/Nandorin in origin, but at least some may represent mixed forms or edainic names formally adjusted to Sindarin spelling and word formation. The Name Boromir is once stated to represent such a mixed form.

Notes:[]

The use of "Hal" and "Har" to indicate importance is similar to Irish Gaelic, suggesting that perhaps the Halethrin tongue is based upon Celtic languages, and given its apparent relation to Daen and Beleriand Easterling languages, some of what also seem somewhat Celtic, it makes sense. Perhaps the Arrónai were speakers of Indo-European languages that fell under the Satem category in general, or at least ones who spoke languages similar to Celtic tongues.
