The Lord of the Rings, Appendix F:
The Exiles, dwelling among the more numerous Grey-elves, had adopted the Sindarin for daily use;
The Silmarillion, Chapter 15: Of the Noldor in Beleriand:
But Thingol was long silent ere he spoke. (...) 'But hear my words! Never again in my ears shall be heard the tongue of those who slew my kin in Alqualondë! Nor in all my realm shall it be openly spoken, while my power endures. All the Sindar shall hear my command that they shall neither speak with the tongue of the Noldor nor answer to it. And all such as use it shall be held slayers of kin and betrayers of kin unrepentant.’
Yeaaaaah... The Noldor adopted Sindarin. Sure.
