	Tolkien felt that he was more of a Suffield.<ref group="note">Suffield was his mother’s maiden name.</ref> When he was young his mother taught him and infused in him his taste for philology and romance. He was a West-midlander at home only in counties bordering the Welsh Marches. Both descent and opportunity made Anglo-Saxon and Western Middle English a childhood attraction and his main professional sphere. Welsh he found particularly attractive and he constructed [[Sindarin]] to resemble the language phonologically (and related to High-elven in the same way as British is to Latin). All names and languages in his books are constructed rather than being at random.

	Another "fallacious fact" was his birth in [[Bloemfontein]], [[Wikipedia:Orange Free State\|Orange River Free State]], fallacious because he was shipped to England in 1895 and had lived in Birmingham and Oxford for most of 60 years thereafter (except for 5 or 6 years in Leeds at the university there). Tolkien said that he was untraveled. He knew Wales, he had visited Scotland (south of the Tay) often, and knew something of France, Belgium, and Ireland. Although he had spent a good deal of time in Ireland, his first visit was not until 1949, after ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]'' was completed and he found Gaelic and Ireland wholly alien. Tolkien mentioned that in Liège, Belgium in October 1954 he had received a degree and was astonished to be welcomed in French as "le createur de M. Bilbo Baggins".
