[Firawyn]

Do hobbits have a native language?

[Celebthôl]

[BlackCaptain]

No, but they do have seperate names for the months of the year...

From LOTR, Concerning hobbits:
"...and in those days also they forgot whatever languages they had used before, and spoke ever after the Common Speech, the Westron it was named..."

So they had their own languages before.

What the heck does the stuff at the bottem of your reply mean?!

[Luthien_7]

You mean signature? It's taken from the song where elves are going to the Grey Havens:

O Light to us that wander here
Amid the world of woven trees.
O Elbereth Gilthoniel
Clear are thy eyes, clear is thy breath...

(i'm listening it right now:D )
