Infernal

The native language of devils has a harsh sound to it and is spoken with every syllable is uttered like a command. The Nine Hells is a harsh place for most speakers to live, which has shaped the language. Many of the more raspy sounds stem from Celestial being spoken amongst fumes and ashes. Other parts of the language borrow from Abyssal, even if speakers of either would never willingly admit it.
To an extent, Infernal is carried by blood. This is why tieflings often find it very easy to pick up. It also means that drinking the blood of several devils aid in learning the language.
