    Aboleth (t)


    Lords of Madness, page 29: "Aboleths employ a fantastically complex language that is difficult for creatures with only one mouth to reproduce. Aboleths speak through the numerous vents along their flanks, the same orifices they use to breathe and spew mucus into the surrounding water. The simplest aboleth words require only one orifice, but the more complicated a word or concept is, the more vents are required to properly pronounce it. Without exception, scholarly aboleths have more mouths than their poorly endowed kin."

    Quote:
    Dakon (s)


    The Scarlet Brotherhood, page 64: "It is presumed that the dakon have their own language, though as they have not been heard to speak on the rare occasions they are encountered, nothing is known about it."

    Dragon #187, page 27: "Aside from speaking their own language (which is based in large part on hoots, grunts, finger and hand gestures, and body postures), most dakons are capable of limited communication with apes and know other racial languages common in their area. Most dakon are at least able to understand the common tongue if the conversation is kept simple, but very few are fluent in it."

    Quote:
    Grippli


    Dragon #262, page 32: "Languages: Grippli, Common, Elvish, Tasloi, Yuan-ti, other jungle humanoids. When speaking languages other than their own, grippli can be very difficult to understand because of the croaking resonances in their speech."

    I11 Needle: "They speak their own tongue and a Batrachian Common language by which they talk (though rarely) with other froglike humanoids. Only the tribal Mother speaks human Common."

    Quote:
    Thri-Kreen


    Expanded Psionics Handbook, page 15: "Thri-kreen speak their own language, Thri-Kreen, which is composed of clicks, whistles, and snaps of their mandibles. Thri-kreen player characters also speak Common."
