ok back to the thread.

quenya is probably the best language because it contains more words. but moast of the elves speaked sindarin, maby it's better because so many liked it. my vote goes to sindarin.

sindarin elves are the best singers. my vote goes to sindarin.

That so many liked Sindarin has historical reasons I'd say, not linguistic ones 馃槈 Quenya wasn't all that well liked as the language of the kinslayers back in the First Age if I remember correctly... after all those who brought it to Middle-Earth were the Noldor following F毛anor.
Quenya grammar reminds me too much of Latin tho' 馃槢 Sindarin is easier, I think; at least it's easier to build sentences with it without having to think for half an hour 馃槢

And that Sindarin speakers are the best singers isn't true either. One of the best elven singers (if not the best) ever turning up in Arda was Maglor F毛anorion, who obvously was a Quenya speaker 馃槈

I love sindarin(still trying to learn it.)

Trying to learn both 馃槃
