I would like to make the default language for a race a certain language, but the mud doesn't recognize the language by the name it is given. I need a list of the bvs for each race language to see if perhaps that would help my cause. I already know about the new language option, but I am working with a prebuilt race and just editing the language that that person speaks from startup.

If I understand the question correctly, you want to know what number to use in the race file for the various default languages. As far as I can tell, the number is a bit mask, ie. a power of 2, as follows:

Thus, if you wanted a class to speak, say, Common and Pixie, you would use the number 9 (1 + 8).


     1 Common     Human base language 
     2 Elven      Elven base language 
     4 Dwarven    Dwarven base language 
     8 Pixie      Pixie/Fairy base language 
    16 Ogre       Ogre base language 
    32 Orcish     Orc base language 
    64 Trollish   Troll base language 
   128 Rodent     Small mammals 
   256 Insectoid  Insects 
   512 Mammal     Larger mammals 
  1024 Reptile    Small reptiles 
  2048 Dragon     Large reptiles, Dragons 
  4096 Spiritual  Necromancers or undeads/spectres 
  8192 Magical    Spells maybe?  Magical creatures 
 16384 Goblin     Goblin base language 
 32768 God        Clerics possibly?  God creatures 
 65536 Ancient    Prelude to a glyph read skill? 
131072 Halfling   Halfling base language 
262144 Clan	  Clan language 
524288 Gith	  Gith Language
