I saw a thread from nearly a year ago asking if there was a list of all the languages from all the D&D books. Nobody helped the guy, but i searched around to see if there was such a thing and i couldn't find anything.
I went through the Monster Manual, MMII, MMIII, MMIV, and the Fiend Folio and here are all the non-PHB languages i've found in each book...

Aboleth
Worg(known by Barghests)
Beholder
Blink dog- barks, yaps, whines, growls. but still convey complex information.
Drow sign language
Gith
Grimlock
Kuo-toan
Sahuagin
Slaad
Sphinx
Treant
Worg
Yuan-ti
Avolakia
Boggle- rudimentary grunts and whistles
Desmodu- has ultra and sub sonic noise. non-desmodu can't speak.
Forest sloth- communication using grunts & screeches
Galeb duhr - rock singing
Gravecrawler- communicate with spirits of consumed dead
Jermlaine - high-pitched chitters and squeaks
Loxo
Meenlocks- grunts and clicks but it's not language. They sometimes make those noises to disguise telepathy.
Phase wasp- signal language of subtle smells, postures, flight patterns
Thri-kreen
Demodand
Khen-Zai - Ethergaunts
Formian
Kaorti
Mongrelfolk pidgin language
Nerra - sounds like glass scoured by a rock
Phiuhl - no audible language but can communicate with each other
Rilmani
Skulk - bastardized common with words and concepts from ancient human cultures
Sporebat
Varrangoin

Armandish
Sahuagin
Ibixian- Goatfolk
Kenku
Lumi
Nycter
Odopi- handclapping and squishy noises. (They're creatures that are just hands and eyes. what did you expect?)
Prismatic roper- color changes as communication
Yuan-ti
Stonesinger
Susurrus - hard to reproduce. hollow-sounding.

Khen-Zai (known by Joystealers, who were bound by the ethergaunts)
Windsong - windrazors
Zern


If I take some more time and/or remember about this, I'll update it with stuff from other books. If anybody wants to help, that would be most excellent. If there is anybody with all the Forgotten Realms books, that's a pretty big project on it's own. Same with Eberron.
If you know of any that I've missed, let me know. There are some languages referenced in multiple books. I have left these repeats in the list under their respective sourcebooks.
