The cool thing is, he made(of course he continued to work on it through the years) the languages completely separately and before he was even inspired to write the books. In a letter he sent, he said, “I find the construction and the interrelation of the languages an aesthetic pleasure in itself, quite apart from The Lord of the Rings, of which it was/is in fact independent.”

@@johnlongford1734 There are definitely some sounds in Elvish (Specifically Sindarin) that are not in Irish. For example, I heard a TH sound in this clip, and the Welsh LL sound which isn't in Irish. However, the real answer is that Tolkien was a linguist and a polyglot, and he learned both Irish and Welsh, as well as some other languages like Latin, Norse and Finnish. Tolkien only studied a tiny bit of Irish, and was much more familiar with Welsh. Tolkien claimed that this language in the clip was mostly inspired by the *sound* of Welsh, which he considered the most beautiful language in the world. Grammatically, this language a lot in common with Germanic and Celtic languages.

Tolkien would not have appreciated the Gaelic comparison. He liked the Welsh language, but apparently, he personally did not find the Gaelic language (of which there are Irish and Scottish dialects), which is from the same Celtic language family, to be a euphonious language.

and her upcoming role in "Lord of the Rings". can you believe that? Its been over 22 years since the first parts has been released.

@conanobrien Hey there, could you upload some more appearances of Julia Louis-Dreyfus on Late Night with Conan O'Brien

Its kind of weird because my first introduction to elves were from Dungeons and Dragons I was maybe 10 or less, that is because in French, Christmas elves are called "Lutins", "Santa's Elves = lutins du pere noel". So I never got that things were Elves are little creature. I actually realize that Lutins were elves in english after learning about D&D that was so weird to me. And now looking back at this interview with Conan, just 20 years or so ago, most people only knew Elves as Santa's Elves and no idea of Elves from Tolkien. For me elves will never be Santa's Elves but always Tolkien Elves.

At 6:00 her voice just goes deep when she says "elvish baby" or is it the man?

Never will forget those nights

Amazing girl

i am actually sort of surprised as how shy and cute she seems, she talks so softly it almost sounds like they forgot to mic her sometimes.
