Salo, 33, is a UW-Madison doctoral candidate in linguistics, but more importantly, at least to movie fans, he's probably the world's leading expert on Sindarin and Queen, the Elvish languages author J.R.R. Tolkien invented as part of the extensive mythology underlying the trilogy.
For Salo, working on the movie presented a multi-level challenge: the language needed to be firmly based on Tolkien's creations, to satisfy the purists and director Peter Jackson, who went to great lengths to keep the movies faithful to the original work.
Salo also had to invent quite a bit of language for the orcs, who are on the screen during the extensive battle scenes in "The Two Towers." But while his goal was to make the orcs sound "nasty and brutish," he also made sure their language adhered to linguistic rules.
