Just wondering if there's any hints in game to support that the different races have their own languages or not? I've wondered a few times if perhaps there's a common tongue and a language that say... Miqo'te use, and Lalafel use etc.
Any credence to that? Or does everyone just speak the same, one language?
I don't -think- there's any hard confirmations of other languages. I know people will immediately say

but all the ninja quests show is that they have specific words for some things. It might be an entire language. It might be.
My biggest "argument" for there being a unified language: The Ishgardians speak the same language we do, and they're xenophobic racists. The Garleans, who hate us, speak the same language we do. Even the White Raven himself, insane planet-murderer who wanted to see us all killed by a meteor, talked to us in the same tongue we speak.
The only "alt" language we have confirmed (I think) is whatever the Ascians speak in their cutscenes.
Beyond that all we have are hints of other languages. Â Like the Sea Wolves' "Old Tongue" of the Roe, or Doma's ninja stuff, or the Empire's latin-based naming conventions.
