Marèngil is a constructed language inspired by both Elvish and Dwarvish, languages spoken by the elves and dwarves respectively in the fictional world of Middle Earth, invented by J. R. R. Tolkien. Thus, the language is spoken by an elf-like people, but of a more hardy stock, akin to the dwarves. These elves are known as the Lárï, live in a mountainous, dry jungle-like region of the planet Arâti~~, a world similar~~ to Caladan, from Frank Herbert's Dune, with very little deserts or arid, inhospitable biomes.
