How many languages did Tolkien invent?

www.nellardo.com - Elfling FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) ...
This is not as straight-forward a question as it first appears. What do you mean by language? If you mean something usable for normal conversation, then possibly none of Tolkien's inventions contain sufficient attested vocabulary to qualify as a language (though a case might be made for Quenya and/or Sindarin). If you mean some set of words that Tolkien named (e.g., even the Black Speech, with only a couple dozen attested words), then there are many, many languages.
