About Infernal
Memonach is a constructed language based on 
Celestial and is used as a lingua franca by the various denizens of the underworld.
It's basically just Celestial spoken backwards or otherwise jumbled up, because demons. That's not to say it's confusing or illogical; it's actually far more regular grammatically than it's angelic counterpart, on account of it's constructed nature. Contrary to stereotype, demons and their ilk appreciate consistency. It can be an unpleasant sort of consistency, but it's there all the same.
