To use these languages, other than Common which is the language assumed to be used, type (XX) in front of what your character says to show which language they are speaking. Ex: (E) I like speaking in Elvish as it's such a beautiful language.
Another form of speech, is mental speech. This is indicated by using ~~ before and after the thought that is sent out mentally. If you do not state a specific name before it, (or TPO for To Party Only on a quest,) then all with in distance can hear it. Only magical races have this ability to speak, but all can hear.
For good role playing most players have an explanation of how their characters came to learn these skills, which often is something they began learning or saw in quests.
