Of course there's a relation: they are written forms of the same language,
Mandarin Chinese (subject to the qualifications I discussed in my last post).

In might the Feanorians / that swore the unforgotten oath
brought war into Arvernien / with burning and with broken troth.
and Elwing from her fastness dim / then cast her in the waters wide,
but like a mew was swiftly borne, / uplifted o'er the roaring tide.
