Ha! I was just about to start a thread about this. :)
Confession: I haven't yet read the Lord of the Rings (Only the Fellowship), and aside from The Hobbit, I haven't read anything else Tolkien (what can I say, it's on my to-do list). That being said, I know Tolkien himself was a linguist and spent an unimaginable amount of time creating his languages.
Heck, just listen to this: I mean... that sounds like a man who knew how to create a language!

I have to read those appendices again, though, because I don't really remember much from them.
