@@johnlongford1734 There are definitely some sounds in Elvish (Specifically Sindarin) that are not in Irish. For example, I heard a TH sound in this clip, and the Welsh LL sound which isn't in Irish. However, the real answer is that Tolkien was a linguist and a polyglot, and he learned both Irish and Welsh, as well as some other languages like Latin, Norse and Finnish. Tolkien only studied a tiny bit of Irish, and was much more familiar with Welsh. Tolkien claimed that this language in the clip was mostly inspired by the *sound* of Welsh, which he considered the most beautiful language in the world. Grammatically, this language a lot in common with Germanic and Celtic languages.
Tolkien would not have appreciated the Gaelic comparison. He liked the Welsh language, but apparently, he personally did not find the Gaelic language (of which there are Irish and Scottish dialects), which is from the same Celtic language family, to be a euphonious language.
The cool thing is, he made(of course he continued to work on it through the years) the languages completely separately and before he was even inspired to write the books. In a letter he sent, he said, “I find the construction and the interrelation of the languages an aesthetic pleasure in itself, quite apart from The Lord of the Rings, of which it was/is in fact independent.”

I'm not an overall fan of Liv, but watching her interviews I truly appreciate her as Arwen. She truly has the energy of this incredibly sweet and gentle, well-meaning, a touch otherworldy spirit, the way she naturally speaks is so hypnotizingly soothing and alluring. She is naturally more elven than some of her acting in the trilogy.
Agree. She is so soft-spoken. This is so nit-picky of course, but I wish she kept her natural speaking tone for the movies instead of whispering all the time.
Liv has the most beautiful voice. I watched a 1981 interview with her mother bebe buell, and she sounds like liv, now I know where liv gets it from. Liv also got her gorgeous looks from her mother.
She is so sugary sweet that when she plays a role like the one in One Night at McCool's, so polar opposite of her actual personality, the acting talent really shines through.
@@shadowstorm_fgc Not from that side of the pond but every clip I've ever seen about Graham is great, he's very giving to his guests. I feel like if that was on my local TV instead of Conan growing up, he would have been who I'd watch
Oh my god, when she spoke Elvish. I think I stopped breathing and turned into a tiger on the hunt. Her voice is so airy and sweet. Her Elvis voice was sexy asf. I could watch her talk all day.
Poor Alicia Silverstone appeared in a video with HER, and suddenly we all forgot who Alicia was. And we didn’t even hear that voice but we could imagine 6:25
in my mind, when i would read fantasy novels in the same genre as Lord of the Rings, she's exactly what i would imagine female elves to be like, the way she looks and the way she sounds 🤔🤩🥰
What a beauty she is, her voice, charm and personality perfectly cast to play the Elvish princess Arwen in Lord of the Rings. Love that photoshoot of her, such a cute happy smile. And love her in One Night at Mcool’s Never miss a Liv Tyler interview, love her outfit and the way her hair is styled here. Great interview Conan! 😍😘🥰🫶🏻🌟✨👑💎⚜️🏆📺🧝🏻♀️
I know. I can't imagine any body who would criticize her looks. Especially the way she looked in the movie Stealing Beauty. She was so stunning and beautiful at that age. That critic was insane.
@frankinsaneandmyrrh1202 Yes. She is astonishingly beautiful. I have seen an occasional comment calling her plain or sort of pretty but nothing special and I can't believe they can possibly think that.
Not 100 percent, but wasn't Lord of the Rings the first? I mean it makes perfect sense in hindsight. And Harry Potter followed suit by releasing a movie a year for almost 8 years (only exception being the 7th book in the series, being split in two).
If social media would be the same than today in 2001, Liv would become the GIF queen on internet as Jennifer Lawrence did some years ago. Liv have endless charming expressions and lovely moments on her interviews.

She sounds a lot like Jen from The IT Crowd

@@maxdamagusbroski Yeah, are you sure? *Ich bin ein Nerd*
I'm not convinced she isn't an actual elf

Good god she’s just so adorable. Everything about her soothe my soul, especially her voice.
I could be going through the worse thing possible, and hearing her voice would make everything better 🫶🏻

I like how Conan said that the Elvish she spoke sounded Gaelic. Tolkien indeed was inspired by Welsh when he created Sindarin.
It does sound like Welsh

She’s the sweetest !✨
Wow she has the cutest voice ever
yes, a real lady!
and the "elvis baby" iin the low pitch was cute too
I like that she's just wearing jeans and a casual top.
I love her voice it´s so sweet and calming
Liv has such a beautiful voice that she would make the perfect horror actor. Just changing her voice makes her frightening 😅😂
She could wake me up in the middle of the night speaking elvish any time. ❤
Her sweet, dappy persona here really makes me appreciate how great she was in The Leftovers. She was terrifying in that.
After so many years, Liv is still loved so much here in Middle Earth (NZ).
It's so crazy that LOTR was that long ago.
We’re old
Thank God it was made decades ago. It would likely be twisted now like the Rings of Cringe.
Conan pretending like he doesn't know Tolkien's work. He just wanted to hear her speak Elvish. Naughty boy.
Her voice could melt butter from across the room.
Conan was and still is so respectful and classy.
I guess you missed the part where he sexualised her regarding the dress?
She is so beautiful,
I forgot how gorgeous she is. Her voice, her personality, and everything about her... so attractive
She is utterly delightful!
By God, so gorgeous. Liv Tyler looks great too.
I see what you did here 😂

And she did an excellent scary villain in Leftovers! She's a great actress.

i am actually sort of surprised as how shy and cute she seems, she talks so softly it almost sounds like they forgot to mic her sometimes.
The most beautiful woman in the world, and yet the camera stays mostly on Conan. Criminal!
Live has a very gentle, sweet, soothing and calming sounding voice. Dakota Johnson also
has this unique trait.
she is so beautiful and so sweet and calm. love her
She was so shy and borderline unresponsive until “If they mated” lol
Elvish doesn't actually start until Conan stops simping at 6:25
I loved her in "That Thing You Do".
She's so beautiful and sweet.

light conversation about LOTR back then. little did they know what the movies would become.
This is a real blast from the past. Pre 9/11, pre-LOTR, Spacehog is still relevant enough to be mentioned... I forgot how funny "If They Mated" was.

As a teen watching lotr back then i didn't care about Arwen or Liv Tyler... Now i find both so charming.
Conan is the best.
Liv Tyler saying things in elvish oh my god
Such a lovely lady!
I could listen to her speak Elvish all the live long day.

She has such a soft, almost angelic voice - it's like ear porn! 😌
Must be from her mother, because daddy has the polar opposite vocal organ 😅

I loved Liv Tyler as Arwen and Betty Ross. she is truly amazing and so elegant. Also, he has a very beautiful voice. She is like a real elven.💚
Betty Ross (Arwen) is the next villain after Red Skull (Elrond), Ronan (Thranduil), and Hela (Galadriel).
Is no one talking about her horse impression at 4:26 ? Very subtle with the camera angle but really good.
