"He borrowed from early English verse to concoct the imaginary language spoken by Arwen, played by Liv Tyler,.."

I think he borrowed more from celtic for the language of the Elves. Anglo-Saxon was a Germanic tonuge and had a harsh Germaic tone to it.

Also, I believe that although he did use Anglo-Saxon themes in his writing, he also borrowed heavily from a Finnish national epic, whose name escapes me.

The Kalevala. He also borrowed from the Icelandic sagas.
