## About The Pull Request
Adds the Spinwarder language, and grants it to Space Russians (including
the mobs, Fugitive Hunters, and the BODA machine).

<summary>Lore Be Here, Abandon All Hope</summary>
**Spinwarder Russian**, also known simply as **Spinwarder**, was the
official language of the Third Soviet Union, and following the collapse
of that state, has remained the primary spoken language in its former
lands, including the Spinward Stellar Coalition, which is the closest
stellar governing body to SS13. This means its the language spoken by
your average Space Russian who you might find nearby to the station;
it's also the language used by devices made in and around the former
Third Soviet Union.
As an additional tidbit, the icon for the language:
is the state flag of the SSC.

## About The Pull Request
- Space Carps and Space Dragons no longer speak Common.
- Space Carps and Space Dragons now speak Carptongue, a language native
to Space Carps.
- Space Dragons also speak Draconic.
- Space Dragons can still understand common, they just can't speak it.
- Space Craps cannot understand common, unless they're a special carp
(Cayenne, Lia, Magicarps, those spawned from plushies)
- Ash Drakes and Ice Whelps also no longer speak Common, and instead
speak Draconic. They can still understand common.
- Carp Infusion now lets you speak and understand Carptongue.
- Fish Infusion now lets you speak and understand Carptongue.
- Fire Sharks now speak Carptongue instead of Common. They can still
understand common (to receive directions).
## Why It's Good For The Game
#89032 made me think "hey why CAN carps speak Common?"
So I thought "What if the Space Dragon spoke Draconic instead since it's
a big lizard"
But naturally the Space Dragon still needs to communicate verbally to
its carps and, well, carps aren't really lizards so they shouldn't get
Draconic right?
So I thought "Why not add a Fish language"
Now, various aquatic space creatures have a language that they can speak
between one another in privacy, while the Space Dragon can still
communicate to the crew for gimmicks via the curator (or draconic if
they want to speak to lizards)
## Changelog
🆑 Melbert
add: Adds Carptongue language, spoken by Space Carps.
del: Space Carps no longer speak or understand Common. Special carps
like Cayenne and Lia can still understand common.
add: Space Dragons can speak Draconic and Carptongue.
del: Space Dragons no longer speak Common. They can still understand it.
add: Ash Drakes and Ice Whelps now speak Draconic.
del: Ash Drakes and Ice Whelps no longer speak Common. They can still
understand it.
add: Fire Sharks now speak Carptongue.
del: Fire Sharks no longer speak Common. They can still understand it.
add: Fish and Carp Infusion now grant Carptongue, letting you speak to
(and understand) Space Carps.
add: Sleeping Carp grants you Carptongue, but as most human tongues
can't speak it, you'll only be able to understand Space Carps unless you
steal a fish tongue.

## About The Pull Request
Making the code compile. EDIT: There's an on-going BYOND issue with
datum subtypes (not atoms) in which trying to override the parent value
with null won't work. Melbert has provided me a fix for it too (from:
d6c1dbf4fd)
## Why It's Good For The Game

## About The Pull Request
This PR moves random name generation for species onto their languages.
What does this mean?
- For species with a predefined name list, such as Lizards and Moths,
nothing.
- For species without predefined name lists, such as Felinids, their
names will now be randomly generated from their language's syllables.
(In the prefs menu:)
Why?
- Well, we actually had some dead code that did this. All I did was fix
it up and re-enable it.
- Generates some pretty believable in-universe names for various
languages that are lacking name lists. Obviously defined lists would be
preferred, but until they are added, at least.
- Moves some stuff off of species, which is always nice.
- Also hopefully makes it a tad easier to work with name generation.
There's now a standard framework for getting a random name for a mob,
and for getting a random name based on a species.
Misc:
- Adds a generic `species_prototype` global, uses it in a lot of places
in prefs code.
- Makes `GLOB.species_list` init via the global defines
- Deletes Language SS
- Alphabetizes some instances of admin tooling using the list of all
species IDs
- Docs language stuff
- Deletes random_skin_tone, it does pretty much nothin
## Changelog
🆑 Melbert
refactor: Random Name Generation has been refactored. Report any
instances of people having weird (or "Unknown") names.
qol: Felinids, Slimepeople, Podpeople, and some other species without
defined namelists now automatically generate names based on their
primary language(s).
qol: More non-human names can be generated in codewords (and other misc.
areas) than just lizard names.
