DÚNADAN, DÚNEDAIN

The Dúnedain (S. "Western Men", sing. Dúnadan) are the survivors of the Downfall of Númenor. Arriving in north-western Middle-earth, they founded the two kingdoms Arnor (in the north) and Gondor (in the south).

Although they still sometimes use their old tongue Adúnaic amongst themselves, Westron has become their every day language.
