My immediate thought on that is "Sword Speech", the language used by Humakti (especially on days when they're geased into silence.) I'd guess that the vocabulary is a bit specialist. Would it be one cult-wide language, useable even when two Humakti have no spoken language in common?

Me, I know nought about linguistics, but I seem to be producing a lot of Humakti myths these days. So if you experts can give me some "facts" to go on, I'd enjoy a chance to dress them up and put them in a game.
