The Elvish language that Tolkien created drew heavily from Finnish and Welsh.
Orlando Bloom played the Elven Warrior, Legolas in The Lord of the
Rings and his character, aside from being immortal like all Elves,
is the embodiment of all the virtues that the human race aspires to
emulate.

Elvish Alphabet Tattoo Designs -
It is a testament to the breadth and scope of J.R.R.Tolkien's vision
and imagination that the Elvish Alphabet or Script should be a popular tattoo
motive, because the Elvish Alphabet is an invented language. Tolkien
was a professor at Oxford from 1925-1959, a philologist, poet and a
writer, but is best known as the author of The Hobbit and the
trilogy, The Lord of the Rings. The success of those novels spawned
an entire genre of 'fantasy' fiction, of invented worlds and realms.
Tolkien's passion for language and literature, and his gift for
linguistics, were the genesis for his creation of Elvish and other
languages.
Tolkien himself asserted that much of his writing grew out of the
languages he created and the mythologies he constructed around them.
