J.R.R. Tolkiens' Middle Earth did not come out of thin air.
Tolkien, an academic linguist, drew on the following

The texts presented at this site are complete and in some

This Finnish saga, replete with battling wizards and heroes, quests and
magical objects has been cited as one of the early inspirations
for Tolkien.  The languages of Middle Earth also have more than a
passing resemblance to Finnish.
