Not just one Earth, many parallel Earths, probably not including ours unless the setting of TFT is far in our future. And not just humans but also orcs for sure and presumably elves, dwarves, etc. So it would make just as much sense for other races to speak a variety of languages as it would for humans. Though the Mnoren do seem to have liked humans, probably because the Mnoren were humans.

If there's a single language, which everyone speaks, it's probably the native tongue of Jen Mnoren, or some other language the Mnoren taught everyone in their empire.
