Lords of the Rings lyrics

What language is supposed to be going on in the large chorus parts of Howard Shore's "Lords of
the Rings" (any chapter)? Is it a made up language or some kind of Latin?

Hello Glenngarv,
In the extra's on the DVD's it is mentioned
that the lyrics are sung in Elvish or in the
language of Mordor (made up by Tolkien himself).
Maybe they use other languages as well, I'm not shure
but hopefully the extended score edition(s?) will provide
more detailed answers.
