Arktik (or Arctic[1]) was the language spoken by the folk of the North Pole: the Red Elves, the Polar Bear, and others.[2]
The Arktik sentence
A sample of Arktik is seen in one of the letters: Mára mesta an ni véla tye ento, ya rato nea, which the Polar Bear translates as "Good-bye until I see you next, and I hope it will be soon."
Inspiration
Although the Letters from Father Christmas are not part of the legendarium, the known sample of Arktik written by Tolkien is actually Qenya, which he had developed by then.[3]
Tolkien linguists sometimes refer to it as Arctic Q(u)enya.[4][5]
