He was a philologist, and by all accounts a decent one. He played a lot with the evolution of his languages (how they turn into new languages and how languages interact within a multi-lingual population), not only with the languages themselves. He couldn’t have done that with a single language. As an aside, I don’t think we could call his rough sketch of dwarvish as “full”. AFAIK we only know a couple of words of it. He did develop 2 elvish languages quite extensively, though (Quenya and Sindarin), and worked on several other dialects. |
