Funny that you should address that particular topic. I've started reading The Children of Húrin, and my age-old urge to create an original, non-trivial fantasy world of my own awoke again. In fact, I have this day-dream about making language sketches for several peoples, and have them be related among each other (in particular, the "elemental" species, though very different in lifestyle, habitat and magic, would share a common ancestor language, "Proto-Natural", if you wish). Contrary to your generalization, however, I would create those languages in parallel, making up roots in the protolang as I went along.
