The History is a draft section, isn't it?

The Vanyar and Teleri spoke Quenya, though the Teleri had a curious and strange dialect called Telerin.

In any case, the Noldor spoke Quenya, with a slight dialect, up until Thingol instated a ban upon it. They then switched to a form of Sindarin, slightly emended, but still easily intelligible. Quenya became a language of lore and history.

The Silvan Elves of Wilderland spoke a strange Sindarin dialect at some times, but used Silvan for daily matters.

Basically, this is how it went:

Vanyar: Quenya -> Vanyarin Quenya

Noldor: Quenya -> Noldorin Quenya -> Sindarin -> Noldorin Sindarin -> Sindarin of the West (used by Elves in Eriador)

Falmari: Telerin-> Telerin Quenya

Sindar: Telerin -> Sindarin -> Sindarin of the West

Tawarwaith: -> Silvan -> Silvan Sindarin -> Silvan
