Alright, so a lot of people think it would be a great idea to have racial languages actually sound like... Something, rather than unintelligable gibberish.
Elfen would speak in soft and lilting tones. So you would see, when someone speaks in Elfen, "Alyvia says something in soft and lilting tones." (Using Alyvia as an example because she's Elfen.)
Furrikin would have a high-pitched, squeaky voice? Tae'dae and Igasho a low and rumbling voice?
For Loboshigaru, I could see "Lunarisiil says something in a low growl, accentuated with a soft whine."
Could even go one step further. If you're a female, you have higher, or softer pitched tones, if you're a male, lower and more masculine tones.
Anyway, help me out. How would you like to see your race speak?

Trill-
Hazar says something uninterpretable in a series of clicks and whistles.
Aslaran-
Gwlifar says something uncomprehensible, his words sounding like a catfight set to bagpipes.
The aslaran language is a bit of an inside reference, I'm afraid.

I think it's a great idea. Since I have a bit of time, here's my take on them:
Aslari - Aslaran says something unintelligible in a series of rumbles, hisses, and purrs.
Dracnari - Dracnari says something unintelligible in a hissing, spitting language.
( Going with the fire-breathing thing. )
Dwarven - Dwarf says something unintelligible in low, rumbling tones.
Elfen - Elf says something unintelligible in soft and lilting tones.
Furrikini - Furrikin says something unintelligible in a series of rapid, high-pitched chattering.
( Meh. Kinda hard since there're different types of furrikin. )
Igasho - Igasho says something unintelligible in a series of low rumbles.
( I'm not too sure what animal an Igasho is closest to.. )
Krokanian - Krokani says something unintelligible in a series of slow grunts.
Loboshigaru - Loboshigaru says something unintelligible in a series of growls, barks, and whines.
Lucidian - Lucidian says something unintelligible in a series of sharp, precise clicks and pauses.
Merian - Merian says something unintelligible in flowing, liquid tones.
Mugwumpi - Mugwump says something unintelligible in a series of croaks and hisses.
Orclach - Orclach says something unintelligible in harsh, guttural tones.
Tae'dae - Tae'dae says something unintelligible in rolling, rumbling tones.
Taurian - Taurian says something unintelligible in a series of aggressive-sounding bellows.
It's mostly what I think it would be, going by the description of the races. Er.. if they all sound similar, it's because they do. -grin-

Igasho is like Yeti. Hm, Furrikin needs a better one though! *biased*
Nejii says something unintelligible in a soft, high-pitched tone.
Rest are all good though.
