The Mithrim, or North-Sindar, referred to the Sindar of Mithrim and northern Beleriand. While mainly Teleri in origin, a tradition lingered that some were in fact Noldor who failed to embark because they had either explored too far or had struck up friendships with the Teleri who came up behind.
The Mithrim were the first of the Sindar encountered by the returning Noldor Elves. The Sindar of Doriath had for long viewed the northern Sindar as suspect, due to their dialect, relative seclusion, and proximity to Angband. The North-Sindar in turn viewed the Doriathrim as haughty, and later grudged that the Doriathrim had abandoned them to the whims of Morgoth. As a result, the Mithrim disclaimed the kingship of Thingol and swore their full fealty to the Noldor High-Kings. In time, the two groups were melded into one people.
The exilic Noldor dialect of Sindarin was based foremost in the Mithrim's northern Sindarin, and integrated many Quenya elements, compared to the 'proper' Sindarin of Doriath.
