Demonlingo Language in Curse You | World Anvil

Demonlingo

Learn to scream like the dying stars above and below.

"If you cannot punch a demon straight to hell, you need to throw them off balance. And let's be honest. your punch is not that good. Welcome to Demonic 101."
— Professor Alistair
  Demonlingo also called demonic or historically infernal is a language with which the demons communicate with one another. Very little is known about the structure of it's spoken version, as it has the tendency to be deadly to most mortals like all encounters with demons usually are. More has been revealed about the script.  
"You see, when we open our tiny human mouth and speak to them in their language, we regain that precious element of surprise. The demon who's about to swallow you whole - or something equally terrible like that, yadda yadda - will pause. Is this... meat-can vessel for another demon? Should I release it? What if it's bigger and meaner than me? Do I dare to bite and find out? Will I be able to defeat it, or is it better to let it be stuck in this puny human form? And that split second, dear students, can save not only your sorry ass, but the entire operation."
— Professor Alistair
