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.
What are the language bvs?

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).
