Bloemfontein.
English  writer, philologist, and  Oxford  
university   professor , best  known  as 
the  author  of the  classic  high-
fantasy   works     The  Hobbit , The  Lord  
of the  Rings .
Tolkien was appointed a Commander  
of the  Order  of the British Empire by 
Queen  Elizabeth II on 28  March  1972.
His works
 The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings form a connected 
body  of  tales , fictional histories, invented  languages  about 
a fantasy world called Arda, and Middle-earth.  While  many 
other  authors had published works of fantasy  before  
Tolkien,[ the great success of The Hobbit and The Lord of 
the Rings led directly to a  popular  resurgence of the  genre
This has caused Tolkien to be popularly identified as the 
" father " of modern high fantasy literature.
Biography . Childhood
John  Ronald  Reuel Tolkien was born in Bloemfontein in 
South  Africa.
As a  child , he was  bitten  by a large baboon spider in the 
garden , an event some think  later  echoed in his  stories .
In 1900, He entered the  King  Edward school, where he 
learned the old English  language  and  started  exploring 
other —  Welsh , Norse,  FinnishGothic .
He early showed up linguistic  talent , after  studying  the 
Welsh and Finnish languages, he began designing 
"Elvish" languages.
Biography. Youth
In 1911, Tolkien  went  on a summer  holiday  in 
Switzerland, a trip that he recollects  vividly in a 
1968 letter, noting that Bilbo's journey  across  
the Misty Mountains  is directly based on his 
adventures as their  party  of hiked 
from Interlaken to Lauterbrunnen and on to 
camp  in the moraines beyond Mürren.
Design languages
Even in childhood, John with his  friends   come  up 
with multiple languages to communicate with 
each other. This  passion  to the  study of existing 
and  construction  of new languages remained with 
him all his life. He is the creator of several 
artificial  languages Quenya, or language of the 
High Elves; Sindarin is the language of the  Grey  
Elves. New languages were largely guided by the 
beauty  of the  sound .
Design languages
He said: „ Nobody  believes me when I say that my 
long book is an attempt to create a world in which 
the language corresponding to my personal 
aesthetics  could  be natural.  However , it is true.„
In the annexes to the „Lord of the rings“, Tolkien 
describes hobbits  calendar . A feature of this 
calendar is that  year  always starts on  Monday  and 
ends on Sunday. 52 weeks in a year, and one 
" extra " day (365-52×7 = 1) is any day of the week 
and is  considered  a holiday. One feature of this 
calendar is the  first  number of months do not  fall  
on Friday
Languages constructed by Tolkien
Tolkien is one of the most famous and prolific 
conlanger. He  designed  more  than  twenty 
languages, each of which has  grammar  and 
lexical corpus. 
Tolkien invented not only the language but also 
the writing systems. He was a  talented  
calligrapher. Some of  these  systems were 
designed for use in his fictional languages, some 
for more practical  purposes : use in a personal 
diary, and a new English alphabet for English.
September 2, 1973 year John Ronald Ruel 
Tolkien died at the age of  81 year in Oxford.

Inglise keele ajalugu, essee "My languages"

Which means "shit-head" and is used innumerously in all occasions. And there is also "ella!" which does not mean anything but you can make it mean everything. I've managed to pick up some bits and pieces of other languages as well – bit of Spanish, some words of Italian, a tiny bit of Finnish, some German (blaming Rammstein and my Neuss friends for that!) and even some made-up languages. Ten or eight years ago I spoke a quite fluent Quenya – that is high-elvish made up by Tolkien. I've created a few languages as well, for either writing or roleplay purposes. Lastly, I'd like to return to English. Like I said before, once I got into reading books in English, I never stopped. Unless it's Shakespeare or something I would not understand in Estonian, either, I can read everything. Unfamiliar words I either pick up from context or these days use my wonderful e-reader built-in English dictionary-thesaurus. (No Estonian words there, either.) As to written English
