Consultant

In 2003, when still a graduate student in linguistics at the University of Wisconsin–Madison , Salo was contracted for The Lord of the Rings film trilogy to write all the material in Elvish (particularly Sindarin ), Khuzdul (Dwarvish) and other languages for the films, as well as to assist with other language-related items such as the Tengwar and Cirth inscriptions which appear in the films. Salo also translated the lyrics for the films' soundtracks : many of these are sung in Sindarin in Howard Shore 's long and innovative music score for the film series .[2] [1] The Hobbit film trilogy[3]
