Arktik
Arktik, also called Arctick or Arctic, was the language spoken by the folk of the North Pole: the Red Elves, the North Polar Bear, and others.
Arktik samples
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".
Another sample of Arktik was published in 2019 in the deluxe version of the Letters from Father Christmas, dating from 1929: Raiqe! Telkume kiryandon nolo.
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.
Tolkien linguists sometimes refer to it as Arctic Q(u)enya.
