Ilkorin
{{Portal|Middle-earth}}

The '''Ilkorins''' is the name of a [[Elf (Middle-earth)|group of Elves]], and their language, invented by [[J. R. R. Tolkien]]. They first appear in ''[[The Book of Lost Tales]]''. It was then a name with a broad meaning for all the Elves who "never saw the light of Kôr" and their many tongues. Kôr was the Quenya name for a hill and the city built on it, near the shores of the Bay of Faery. 

(contracted; show full)

So Lemberin became the name for the tongue of the Teleri Elves that remained in Beleriand. Before the coming of the Noldor it was spoken far and wide in Beleriand (save in Ossiriand) and all the names of places, of rivers, woods, fields, plains, hills and mountains were given in this tongue.
