Pff, Old English. Nuts to your 10+ forms of the definite and indefinite articles. It's Middle English for me, any day.

Quenya was influenced by Anglo-Saxon, Finnish, Greek, and Latin. Its vocabulary is completely original though, except for a few things. For example, arda, which means earth, has germanic roots.

Old English sounds more like Irish Gaelic when he speaks it :P

In my linguistics class, we had a whole chapter on old germanic languages that I simply adored.
