 Mellonath Daeron : The Development of the Elvish Languages
Common Eldarin: It is unclear wether or not Common Eldarin can be considered a clearly distinguishable language, or if it was just a convenient linguistic term, used when describing elements common in the Eldarin languages (similar to today's usage of "Common Germanic").
Very little is known about these languages; one of their late representatives was the Silvan of the Vale of Anduin.
Common Telerin: Already when they set out on the Great March, the language of the Teleri was distinct from that of the Vanyar and Noldor, and this distinction was probably strengthened during the long westward march [4].

 Quenya - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Quenya is one of the languages spoken by the Elves in J.
It was the language that developed among those non-Telerin Elves that reached Valinor (the "High Elves") from an earlier language called Common Eldarin.
The Third House, the Teleri, spoke a different, closely related language: Telerin, although this was by some seen as a dialect of Quenya which is untrue in a historic perspective but plausible in a linguistic one; the languages do not share a common history but are very much alike.

Sindarin was the main Eldarin tongue in Middle-earth, the living vernacular of the Grey-elves or Sindar.
It was the most prominent descendant of Common Telerin, Common Telerin itself branching off from Common Eldarin, the ancestor of Quenya, Telerin, Sindarin and Nandorin.
The development from Common Eldarin to Sindarin involves much more radical changes than the development from CE to Quenya, or to the Telerin of Aman.

Derived from a Common Eldarin stem ÑAL "shine by reflection"; the primitive form is given as *ñalatâ "radiance, glittering reflection", referring to the glittering from water, jewels, glass or polished metals.
This -d is the (Common Eldarin) remnant of the primitive allative ending -da, "indicating motion to or towards a point" (WJ:366).
Originally esdê was evidently a common noun "repose"; in WJ:404, Pengolodh observes that while the Quenya and Telerin forms (Estë and Éde, respectively) had come to be used only as a name of the goddess, the Sindarin word îdh still had a general meaning "rest".

The only other Eldarin language spoken in Aman, Telerin, could also be considered a dialect of Quenya, but it was usually held to be a separate language and is not discussed here.
In fact, the Silmarillion Index refers to Quenya as "the ancient tongue, common to all Elves, in the form it took in Valinor" in Aman - as if Quenya was so similar to Primitive Elvish that it was merely as a later form of it, not a new language.

 List of Tolkien's Languages
Common Elvish is the name used for the language spoken by the Elves when they first awoke in the Great Lands and before they reached Valinor.
Eldarin includes several languages spoken by the Elves in Valinor such as Lindarin, Ingwiqendya, and Valinorean Quenya which differ from standard Quenya in some way (although technically the word Eldarin may be applied to any language spoken by the Eldar which would include Noldorin).
Westron is also the common language of Dwarves in the Third Age and a particularly "harsh" dialect was spoken by Orcs when necessary.

Tolkien's fictional universe of Middle-earth, Primitive Quendian is the primordial tongue of the Quendi, or Elves, which they spoke soon after their Awakening.
Primitive Quendian split into Common Eldarin and the many Avari languages.
The Etymologies published in The Lost Road and Other Writings and also later etymological essays often derived terms common to Eldarin languages to Primitive Quendian bases, and a list of some Primitive Quendian words is given in an essay Quendi and Eldar (in The War of the Jewels).

 Eldarin Numerals
What is outlined here does not really resemble a duodecimal counting system, but at this time LOTR Appendix D with the statement the Eldar preferred to reckon in sixes and twelves as far as possible was published already, so Tolkien felt he had to give some kind of clarification.
But already in Common Eldarin, the multiples of three, especially six and twelve, were considered specially important, for general arithmetic reasons, and eventually besides the decimal numeration a complete duodecimal system was devised for calculations, some of which, such as the special words for 12 (dozen), 18, and 144 (gross), were in general use.
Studying the development of single numerals from the Qenya Lexcion to the Early Qenya Grammar, the Etymologies and finally to 'Eldarin Hands, Fingers and Numerals', it is remarkable how little change some of the numerals have undergone, cf.

 Quenya and Sindarin
An s-sound can become an r-sound because they share a lot of features in common, chiefly the fact that they are made in only slightly different places in the mouth, so that it does not take much to turn one into the other.
There is simply a common ancestor of both, and the two languages have diverged in slightly different paths.
One possibility is that the original had something in common with both these sounds, perhaps a weak form of g- that was lost in Quenya - so in some ways, Sindarin is closer to the original.

Sindarin is based loosely on Welsh and is the primary language of the Sindar (Grey Elves).
Its roots lie in Common Eldarin, the root of Quenya, Telerin, Sindarin and Nandorin but it's closest ancestor is the Common Telerin tongue.

As it is, however, we are unable to decide this question now (and the distinction has little importance for writing Sindarin sentences which is fine with just the fact that there's no additional lenition for indirect objects without explanation).
Common lore has it that adjectives follow a noun and are lenited in this position.
A common assumption is that predicative adjectives are in general unlenited, since there is a gap created by the absence of the word 'to be' (which must have been present in primitive Elvish) and it is intuitively plausible that a mutation could not develop over this gap.
