Invented Words

In any fantasy book, it is important to keep the number of invented words to a minimum.

While it adds some level of authenticity to the work, it also adds an accompanying level of incomprehesibility.

When possible, it is suggested that the writer uses culturally appropriate, or old out-of-date words that have some reference that a reader can at least look up.

It seems incomprehensible to me why a writer would invent his own. I mean, why not just use one of the hundreds of languages already existing on this wide and splendiferous Earth?
