Tolkien was undoubtedly a born polyglot and learnt more than 35 languages in his lifetime.
As a teenager, he invented his first language, which would inspire the 20 or so languages he created for Middle-earth.
When he started inventing languages, he realised that he needed people to speak them, and it was only then that he thought of writing The Lord of the Rings and his other works. #youtubeshorts #interestingfacts #lordoftherings #tolkien #middleearth
