Summary
DescriptionMiddle-earth vs Indo-European language trees.svg |
English: Middle-earth and Indo-European language trees compared. Tolkien, a philologist, was intensely interested in the evolution of language families, and modelled his fictional languages and their evolution on real ones. Soon after writing the Lhammas, Tolkien made Sindarin the language of the Noldor in Beleriand, effectively reshaping his tree of Elvish languages. |
