Elven
  • Common Elven is known as Alyenya and is the only widely used elven language. Each race of elf (with the exception of half-elves) has their own secret language.
  • The Sylvendi (Common Elves) speak Sylnya, a language tied closely to their beloved forest. So much so in fact that anyone who can speak Sylnya may try to communicate with a creature of the forest at half their Sylnya language proficiency (except Sylvendi elves who, of course, use full proficiency).
  • The Ilyendi (High Elves) speak Ilyenya. A language of nobility and power. Any one speaking Ilyenya gains a +5% to trust/intimidate, or charm/impress while speaking the language (Except Ilyendi elves who gain +10%).
  • The Ubelendi (Drow) language of Ubelnya inspires fear and horror in all who hear it. While speaking Ubelnya a character has an innate horror factor of 6, or a bonus of +1 if their own innate horror factor is higher than 6 (Ubelendi speaking Ubelnya gain a +2 bonus to horror factor). Ubelnya is only taught to Ubelendi and their servants, any outsider displaying an understanding of the language is usually killed. A character may only possess this language if taught it by an Ubelendi or one of their servants.

Troll (In all my readings I have found only one instance of Trolls smart enough to have a written language. The Rock Trolls of Shannara (by Terry Brooks). So, in general, it can be assumed that Trolls do not have a written language.) 
Tupian
Wolfen (Difficult to learn (-10%) to all but a few races (Elves have no problem, for example, in fact Sylvendi elves gain a +5% bonus to learn to speak Wolfen), and it's written language is also difficult (-5% to all but Diabolists and those with cryptography skill).
