For any who wish to familiarise themselves with the
complexity and variety of Tolkien's languages, there is no better guide
than that written by Tolkien himself. A master of language and a man who
was very much in love with the sound and flavour of language, Tolkien
wrote extensively in the appendix to his great work which built some of
the framework to the linguistic work which helped enable Peter Jackson's
dream and production. Sixteen months in
New Zealand, working on this production with Peter Jackson, creating the
dialects and the languages with actors including Ian Holm; Ian McKellen;
Christopher Lee; Cate Blanchett; Elijah Wood; Sean Astin; Dominic
Monaghan; Billy Boyd; Liv Tyler; Orlando Bloom; Sean Bean; Viggo Mortensen
and many, many others was an extraordinary experience. The work was
the biggest dialect and language challenge ever offered in the cinema and
Andrew, assisted by Róisín Carty, rose to that challenge.
