What's the counterpart of your country on Middle Earth?

Rohan/Riddermark was based off Anglo-Saxon culture, even the Rohirric language was based of the Mercian dialect of Old English.

Guess that makes Anglos Rohan.

we wuz elves n' sheeeeiiiit

>>70771574
Except industrial Britain was clearly Saruman

some minor orc tribe maybe

You're arguing about your own interpretations of shit, I'm talking about what Tolkien actually got his inspiration from.

Which race could handle banter the best?

>>70771704
Hobbits

>>70771704
dwarves

We were literally elves.

Lothlórien.
I mean, we have a shitload of trees.

>>70771590
This Finn it's right, IIRC, he received much of his inspiration for the Elvish language from Finnish.

>>70771647
A kingdom from Rhûn most likely, the races of men that come from the east, sometimes warring with the men of the west.

South Gondor

>>70771704
Hobbits were awful cheeky.

Reminder Turkey is Mordor.

Scandis = Elves
Latin America = Dwarfs/Hobbits
Africa = Mordor
The rest = ???????

>>70771752
Not entirely accurate...
Sindarin Elvish was Welsh,
Quenya Elvish was Finnish

What's impressive, is that Tolkien managed to create a linkage between them, to demostrate mutation, and language drift.

>>70771861
>Africa
>Mordor

Mordor is obviously meant to be America.

>Populated by brutes
>Led by a madman
>Industrial and ruined by over-expansion

>>70771737
Dwarves could handle no banter
The got triggered by elves and everything all the time

>>70771691
We're both talking about what Tolkien got his inspiration from

Tolkien was a brilliant man t b h.

He even wanted to fight in the winter war but was denied by the british government at the time.

They are argies, I knew it.

Absolutely, I don't think there is anyone quite as good as him even today in regards to language.

Mark Okrand and Klingon is also quite good, and Diane Duanes Romulan is cool too.

Mordor was obviously Turks. The Orcs were supposed to be a clan-based and clever but uncivilized race (exactly like Turkic steppe tribes) that really needed to only be united to become very powerful (Sauron unites the Orcs, steppe tribes unite under a Khan) and oftentimes gain allies from the races of men (Haradrim and Serbs, for example).

>>70771955
Well sure, but Isengard was a concept then, not a country.

>>70772048
Anon no, they're obviously based on the States. Just replace tribes with states and that works

>>70771473
Elves of course.

>>70772047
>>70771976
Tolkien is the absolute best. What a hell of a man.

>>70771890
Nifty

>>70772083
You're an idiot then, America is of the West, and States are far from clans and tribes.
Mordor would have to have no relation to the West, nor would it be a typically unified entity.

Call us the Black Numenoreans if you're hell-bent on seeing us as an entity of evil, but Mordor makes no sense.

Sauron is the great Khan, of Turks aka Uruks and Orcs.
His allies are Easterlings aka Mongol tribes, Haradrim aka Arabian Muslim tribes and Umbar Pirates aka Berbers Moors from north african ports.

The Gondor is the Byzantine empire, and Rohan is Austria.

If talking like that then Rohan is Poland tb h

>>70772408
But Rohan are supposed to be saxonic shit, so i guess they are the Austrian, but maybe Poland-Lithuania is actually the Gondor.

>>70772874
Austrians have nothing to do with saxons though.
Saxons are north Germans

>>70773061
and Dwarves are???
