Tirelhat does ("lhat" = language). The "Tire-" used to come from a word
meaning "wren" (which is currently "tril"), but now it's just a meaningless
name.
Ludireo means "world language": "reo" is from Maori. Ludireo borrows all of
its vocabulary from other languages.
Kayatal and Gjanarrtal, the two varieties of Gjarrda, contain the word
"tal" (language). "Tal" or something like it has been a word for "language"
in many of my langs, going back to Sortal of the mid-1980's.
"Chispa" means "speech". The full name of the language (spoken by Mizarian
rat-people) is "Chispa Zaik".
