In this paper I pluck three leaves from my current research on Tolkien’s Tree of Middle-earth language invention - – Nala Lambë, Mago/Magol, and Dunlendish (also known as the Dunland Tongue).

They exist as both individual enigmatic leafs as well part of much larger tree of Tolkien’s linguistic world-building.
