Ilkorin
'''Ilkorin''' is the name of an [[Elvesf (Middle-earth)|Elven people]], and their language, invented by [[J. R. R. Tolkien]] for his ''[[Book of Lost Tales]]''.
  
The name literally means "Not of ''Kôr''", Kôr being the original (and subsequently abandoned) name for the hill of [[Tûna]] in [[Valinor]] as well as the city later named [[Tirion]]. In the early ''BOLT'' conception the occupy the place later taken by [[Avari]], although their origin and history is quite different.

As the ''BOLT'' developed into the [[Silmarillion]], the Ilkorin were dropped  and their language was not further developed. As a result little is known of it, except for some general notes and a few words. There is some speculation among [[Tolkienist]]s that the [[Sindarin]] dialect [[North Sindarin]] adopted many Ilkorin features and words.
