I could imagine the Dragons of the North retaining vestiges of such language, as they appear to have been long-lived.
Aside from Sauron's relatively unsuccessful Black Speech, I can't recall an instance of the forces of evil in Arda acquiring a unique language.
I would agree that Morgoth probably would have used some debased Quenya or Sindarin for speech among his minions.
