Would Gallente sound musical and poetic even when they're yelling at you? Would Amarrian sound more like Latin/Arabic/Persian? Minmatar sort of like the old Germanic languages? And Caldari hmmm maybe a blend of multiple Asiatic languages?
The Amarr speak a language called Amarrish, or Amarrad. Its written in a similar style to Arabic apparently, but linguistically sounds like rather different.
E.G
https://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Amarrian_language
A manu dei e tet rimon I am the devoted hand of the divine god. ("Tetrimon" means "Divine Devotion")
Armadillo The strong armor and the way the Tormentor seems to be curling up on itself has given the Tormentor-class this nickname.
Imud Hubrau Beast of Heaven.
Kaoli To identify with a person or way of life so that threat to it is to be as though it were personal.
Khanid Means "little lord" or "lord ling" and is an affectionate term generally given to a cherished friend.
Mezagorm Means Vision of god.
Sefrim Those that guard the high seats of heaven. Angels, which God ordered them here to protect the emperor against all evils that ever beset him.
Semper Pax Peace, forever.
Vitra To the Amarr, "Vitra" meant simply "life." Life itself.
The Caldari apparently speak two languages.
Nanpali and Caldanese (yes it is called that apparently)
I don't know about the others.

What their alphabet looks like. How their words flow together. Not just a romanization of their words. It would be nice to see that in the captain/merc quarters the script of the race whose station you're in. As a side note I was missioning in Eve and was doing some Amarr missions and I must say if it were not for their slavery thing the Amarr are not so bad. It did state though that abuse of slaves is not generally practiced or accepted by a large portion of the empire. And many look down on the process. But like all things in New Eden there is a lot of shades of grey. I also sided with the Amarr at the end of the main SoE epic arc, Lear Evanus and she wasn't so bad either. So now I'm going to train into using their ships!
We aren't a bad people, slavery is but a very minor aspect of what and who the Amarr are.
Plus currently there are only something like 314 billion Minmatar slaves in the Empire..... and 15 Trillion Amarr.........
