Welsh is the language spoken throughout Wales and some nearby parts of England.

Sindarin

Tolkien appears to have been greatly inspired by Welsh when creating the Elvish language Sindarin. Several similarities have been pointed out:

Singular/Plural

Editor Carl F. Hostetter has noted that lotheg is formed by the addition of a diminuitive/singular ending -eg/-ig to the plural form loth, much like in Welsh where a singular noun can derive "from a plural form by the addition of a singular ending".[1]
