Jackson had hired special linguistic experts for the films, but not even they could do a perfect job, especially since Tolkiens languages will never be fully unveiled or understood and many ideas on composition and other points may differ even between the most knowledgeable experts.<BR>The specialists in the film were there more or less to just get the cast to be able to pronounce the sounds of the elish tongues decently. All in all, I think they did a remarkable job. I mean, you try and pick someone out and teach them a language whose creator never even finished.<P>~Scott
