It is Finnish, but you must remember that J.R.R.Tolkien designed Quenya, the language of the Elves in particular from "phonaesthetic" considerations; it was intended as an "Elvenlatin", and was phonologically based on Latin, with ingredients from Finnish, Welsh, English, and Greek. He had read our national epic Kalevala in Finnish.
