Why does Tolkien have the trolls speak Cockney in The Hobbit?

Unlike the trolls in 'LOTR', the trolls in The Hobbit were used for comic relief. The Hobbit is, after all, a childen's story - Tolkien wrote it originally for his own kids, and the troll episode was their favourite part of the whole tale. The idea was trolls could speak a debased form of 'westron' (the 'common tongue'), so Tolkien represented that in English through a Cockney dialect, which in his opinion was probably 'common'. Hope that helps :)


Did J.R.R. Tolkien write The Hobbit or The Lord of the Rings first?

J.R.R. Tolkien wrote The Hobbit first (in the 1930s, released in 1937). He wrote The Lord of the Rings between 1937 and 1950, and was published in 1954/5; he started work on The Lord of the Rings after The Hobbit was published.He had actually written the stories that make up The Silmarillion even earlier, while recovering in a hospital during world war 1 from combat wounds. But while many parts of both The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings stories refer to events in The Silmarillion, Tolkien never felt those stories were finished and was always reediting them throughout his life, so he never made a serious attempt to get them published himself.
