In J. R. R. Tolkien's fictional legendarium, Beleriand (Sindarin pronunciation: [bɛˈlɛ.ri.and]) was a region in northwestern Middle-earth during the First Age.Events in Beleriand are described chiefly in his work The Silmarillion: It tells the story of the early Ages of Middle-earth, in a style similar to that of the epics of Nordic literature—stories pervaded by a tone of impending doom.

Beneath the name of each language is the word for "Elves" in that language. Internally, in the fiction, the Elvish language family is a group of languages related by descent from a common ancestor, called the proto-language.

A god named Bel was the chief-god of Palmyra, Syria in pre-Hellenistic times; the deity was worshipped alongside the gods Aglibol and Yarhibol.
