It cannot be denied that the impulse to develop such a language for The Stone Dance came, to some extent, from Tolkien. Like him, I felt the need to give things in the Three Lands names that were of that place. But the language would have been nothing but a collection of pleasing sounds if I had not met David Adger, then a linguistics student. It was he who showed me that, bilingual as I was, in the world of languages, I saw in black and white. He revealed to me the rainbow that is human languages. With his help, we shaped Quya, a court language which is possessed of all manner of strange elements originating in the mythological and historical antiquity of the Three Lands."
