Here’s my idea:
All humanoid races originated from the An-cines. They’re an ancient and mysterious race that have long disappeared. From them developed all the other races. What impact they had upon the modern races often play central roles in the culture of this world. They’re the common thread that ties all the races together.

Me too? I also have experience making up languages, though not for any specific race of people.

But do you understand how and why they work the way they work? I’ve been conlanging for years and have created a wide variety of languages.

Yes, I do. While I may not be as serious as you seem to be, I do have an understanding of language and what I should use to make each one up. I also am nearly bilingual, as I speak English as a first language and French as a second language, so that helps. And I have made up a few languages, mainly for a fantasy/sci-fi world in a book series I am writing.

Go ahead, but keep in mind what creatures we've got so far.

That sounds pretty interesting! Personally I think there should be a few different precursor species that cover a few “similar” creatures (e.g: Orcs and Ogres have the same precursor)

I think we could say certain races are more closely related than others. (e.g: Orcs and Orges are closely related races and are descended from the same subsection of the An-canes population.)

If you know French, then a highland human language would be nice. I think that and a hill dwarf language are the most French-like languages needed. I also know a bit of French but I’m more fluent in English and Swedish, which are perfect for most fantasy languages like elven and mountain dwarven. For your languages make sure to include an alphabet with characters that would make sense, as well as showing what each character sounds like, basically the phonetics section of my elven dictionary.
