Elloi ['el.lʷo.i] is a fictional language developed by Ric Lyon, intended to be the native language of some groups of Elw. Grammatically, it is an a posteriori language, but some 70% of its lexis is derived from languages as Sindarin, Persian and Old Norse.

The etymological diversity of Elloi reflects the subjugated status the language had first under the Elfinshi rulers, then under the Ardashirians and the Arminian Hurmudanka. Many native words lost their meaning during this time and became forgotten. Grammatically, however, Elloi has been conservative, retaining peculiarities such as independent plural markers and a system of pre- and postpositions affixed to root-words.
