Roni Laukkarinen on Nostr: Did you know Elvish from Lord of the Rings is partly inspired by Finnish language? ...
Did you know Elvish from Lord of the Rings is partly inspired by Finnish language? Tolkien took an interest in the Finnish mythology of the Kalevala, a 19th-century work of epic poetry compiled by Elias Lönnrot. Both Elvish and Finnish have lots of ääs and öös. Ä and Ö are the most common letters in the Finnish alphabet.
