Julian Jarosch 在 Elfling 发表一篇论文，尝试以 Benjamin Whorf 提出的 SAE (Standard Average European，一种 Sprachbund) 中的 12 项特徵来讨论 Quenya 的欧语性，可以从精灵语学 SAE，颇有趣。

"Some time ago, I’ve written a paper on Quenya from a typological point
of view. Based on Tolkien’s claim that Quenya is intended to be
recognizably European, I looked for features distinctive of the
linguistic area known as SAE in Quenya. What I found, and a few points
besides, may be seen here:

As you may see, I have recently started revising the paper – for a
reason: on saturday, I am going to make a small presentation based on
the paper. So, I would be very grateful indeed for any helpful input,
major advice, minor improvements or devastating critique. And yes, I am
aware that I’m extremely late to post this – that’s my fault entirely! I
will still be grateful for any helpful input, major advice, minor
improvements or devastating critique after the presentation!"


挺有意思的，头一次听说SAE
