Teshvo

Wizards are inherently bilingual, and in practice omnilingual, as they are able to pick up new languages on the fly or have them memorised already. Native and exclusive to Mezchinhar are two languages: Teshvo and Vaeh.

Teshvo

Primarily conceived to teach primal wizards to speak a human tongue, it has become the sole spoken language in Mezchinhar.

The language has evolved, being split into Old and New Teshvo, where Old Teshvo is a lot shorter and much more reliant on context to identify the individual words. New Teshvo adds in a lot of prepositions and similar grammatical additions.

Teshvo is primarily written in cursive. Most of what a wizard will write will be written in Teshvo (be it journals, observations or theories). There are standard cyphers issued frequently by Mezchinhar to obscure the wizards' knowledge from any non-wizard. Since the cyphers are unique, it is also a reliable way to date any written text. Older cyphers will have to be accessed via Mezchinhar. If the cyphers can't be accessed, a wizard can decrypt them by reading enough of the text to decipher it manually.

Vaeh

Vaeh is a purely digital language that wizards are built upon. They inherently understand Vaeh. Vaeh is not spoken (though it can be translated into sounds as much as into pulse signals that can be transmitted via sound waves or light). A written-down instruction in Vaeh would appear more akin to a very complex QR-Code than any words or letters.

Vaeh is used for most internal communications in Mezchinhar, the transfer of data, as well as direct communication between two wizards.

Vaeh is also the language in which Parts of the same Wizards talk to each other (internally) - speaking to another part in Teshvo is considered impractical due to its slowness, as the other part would, due to the memory sync, already know what the other is about to say before the sentence is finished.
