What kind of elvish language was used during the ';The Lord of the Rings Trilogy';?

I'm looking into speaking this language created by Tolkien himself. I just don't know which one it was, since there's like so many of them. Is it Sindarin, Quenya, or is it something else?What kind of elvish language was used during the ';The Lord of the Rings Trilogy';?
They used mostly Sindarin in the movies but there were also a few lines in Quenya.


(like Aiya Earendil Elenion Ancalima! (said by Frodo), the song Aragorn sings at his coronation (Et Earello...), ... I think that's actually all that's in Quenya... Ah, Gandalf tries some Quenya on the Moria door, too (Ando eldarinwa...) ...And Saruman uses some when hindering the fellowship from passing over Caradhras (Nai yarvaxea rasselya...). And in ';May it be'; there's ';Mornie utulie';, ';Mornie alantie';).

The ';normal'; conversations were all in Sindarin in the movies.





I prefer Sindarin as it feels easier for me, and more beautiful. It was also the commonly spoken tongue of elves in Middle-Earth (by the time of the events in LotR). Quenya became the more academic language.





Here's a course for Sindarin, in pdf format:
