!l <language> to switch to a certain language. Then whenever you speak, you'll speak in that language until you switch to another again. The default is common.
Examples:
!l common
!l humman
!l dwarf
(note the second letter is a lowercase 'L')

Is it possible to learn new languages, like a human learning to speak the dwarfen language?

Only if you have 1 skill point.
So currently this is only possible with ancient, or by GM power

technically yes. You need the first skill point in another language, then by speaking and hearing that language you will proceed.
There used to be "language books" which give you this first skill point, but it has been abused.
There are only Ancient Language books left, which you need as a mage.
Any other languages need a GM AFAIK.

Basically how well you speak the language will determine how much you understand and how much people understand you. If you're a dwarf and you try to speak elven, elf chars will just see Someone: [elf] ***** because you can't speak the language well enough for native speakers of it to understand.
