No, Elves Classical Greek (Syndarin), Men of Gondor Latin (Quendarin), the
Rohirrim Old English (which is exactly the language Tolkein has them
speaking), Dwarves (using Tolkein's plural), Old Norse, Orcs, Ugaritic,
except when speaking official "Mordorese" which in Tolkien is based on
Syndarin, but corrupted (how about Byzantine Greek?).
However, why not just stick with the languages Tolkein created or assigned?
Until the Star Trek movies, the most studied artificial language was Elvish.
Now I understand that it's Klingon... Esparanto is now a poor third, at
best.
