Going back to the speakeing of sindarin I remember reading somewhere that for some of the scenes with Arwen and Aragorn speaking elvish they were supposed to be in English but the actors had begun to learn sindarin and thought it would be more in keeping with the characters if they were to speak to each other in sindarin.

Well Tolkien seemed to think Westron worked fine between Aragorn and Arwen in the Appendices.

Good point, I think they probably did it for no other reason than that they could.

It looks/sounds good (impressive) to people who don't know anything about Elvish languages.

Yes, I expect more Neo-Sindarin in The Hobbit. Most people not only won't care, and just want to hear 'Elvish', but many do not realize that you can't really speak any of Tolkien's languages -- in that it's not like learning French, German, or even Latin... or even Klingon!
In other words, many will not draw a difference between the Neo-elvish fans create, or used in the films, compared to the real thing... to them it's all the real thing because they think one can become 'fluent' in Elvish. By the way welcome Starkhorn (and I was just having a bit of fun with my earlier you understand) |
