 A Tolkien Dictionary
By the time that The Lord of the Rings was published, all of these distinctions had fairly much melded by late in the Third Age into Sindarin, with the ancient High Elven - or Quenya - surviving as a sort of historical 'root' [much the same as Latin today relates to the Romance languages.]

Tolkien because his languages are fabricated; that is to say, they did not evolve amongst an historical population over a long period of time; their forms were not tested by an evolving citizenry, their ambiguities not resolved by common usage.
An excellent resource for discussion of all the Tolkien languages by some of the world's leading scholars can be found on the web at the Tolkien Language List within their archives, or sign up for the discussion forum.
