Growing Up with Language
by Jeffrey Henning
"Tolkien learned or taught himself Latin, German and French, Middle English, Old English, Finnish, Gothic, Greek, Italian, Old Norse, Spanish, modern Welsh and medieval Welsh. He had an amazing working knowledge of languages, and was familiar with Danish, Dutch, Lombardic, Norwegian, Russian, Swedish and many ancestral Germanic and Slavonic languages. It would have been no surprise to his mother that he became a professional philologist.”
