"One from Middle Earth" is actually several: Quenya and Sindarin (Elvish), Khuzdûl, Black Speech, Rohirric, etc. but the most heard in the movies was Sindarin.

I'm with Jack for Parseltongue, but Sindarin comes a close second.

My first choice would be Sindarin. Beautiful language!
But I also like Chewbacca. I think we should ask Han for a little help with it
