I love trees. I am one of the tree-hugger persons; in fact, I highly identify with the Ents in the Tolkien stories.
Oh, and then there’s the description of their language:
Entish, their language, is long-winded and difficult to catch by other people. They are the only people that use this language, and they use it only among themselves.It is sonorous, slow and has such a quality that no one has ever tried to reproduce in writing. Their likings for languages, especially the high elven-tongue, are great, They use a long time so say simple things, and names are up to many lines long.
They used a couple of days to talk about everything that needed to be talked about. Fortunately, most of them also master the common languange.
