I'm making an Aarakocran, well actually as AL (adventures League) forbid me to use that race I'm using an alternative but chanelling Aarakocra in it, and this is written in their description

Aarakocra are sworn foes of elemental earth, in particular the gargoyles that serve Ogrémoch, the Prince of Earth.

Probably Abyssal... Aarakocra are tied to the Vaati in lore, which means staunch enemies of chaos in all its forms

Vaati were the main force on the side of Law in the ancient Law Vs Chaos struggle in the multiverse (that devolved into the Blood War in the lower planes).  aarakocra have drifted from Law but their history as allies to the Vaati may still carry that linguistically (as ancient allies to Archons and Devils, and enemies of Demons)

Love the fluff there, could also go Yugoloth-ic to have a better understanding of when they're going to screw you.

 

I've seen all sorts of weird rules pop out from Adventurers League.  You might wanna check that situation out first. 

PHB says only the common races languages are available, unless your DM has enough chips and soda donations to allow in the uncommon race languages.

 

MM has iirc about 42 different languages.

 

 

What did 3e call the Earth elemental language, Terran?

Maybe the community keeps training in that language in case the bad guys come back.

Primordeal covers all four elemental languages, as well as a few monsters speaking 'pure' primordeal

 

Giany Eagles and Owls each speak their own language which might be thematically appropriate
