Rytorth is on a distinguished road
But just the same - sooner or later (probably later) the races of a MUD will agree on a single language that should be used to communicate for trading and negotiations and suchlike.

Does this mean that every char on the MUSH will be able to speak that language perfectly? Heck no - where'd be the fun in /that/? After all, no two races think exactly the same. A Zangali (or Troll or Ogre, or whatever the equivilant for your MUD theme is..) won't be able to speak Terran Standard as well as, say, a Human. The former will, however, be able to understand Standard well enough - and they'll be able to /speak/ it. Just not very well. But hey, where's the fun of being able to speak Standard perfectly when you can befuddle those around you with broken Standard?
