Cisum conlangs

Following a brainworm I had on stream, I decided to make actual constructed language to match the description of the various languages spoken in Cisum.
(The end (optimistic) goal would be to fan-translate the comic, but with every speech bubble is in its appropriate language)

Here is what I figured so far
  • Metal
    In cannon it is mutually intelligible from English but not exactly identical
    Would probably have split from English recently so I'd take late 17th century English (a century after Shakespeare, and most importantly after the big vowel shift that made English sound like, well Modern English) and evolve it in its own direction a tiny bit
  • Darkness
    Mao complains that it makes his throat hurt, so it's a language that is probably heavy in back consonants
  • Dreams
    Dreams is weird due to the fact that is not exactly "spoken" so it'd need a bit more thought on how to implement it if at all
Additionally while there is no cannon evidence I would find it exceedingly funny if Darkness and Light were distantly related in some way
