I'm interested in the various languages of Earwa: http://princeofnothing.wikia.com/wiki/Languages
Has Bakker written or spoken in more detail of the various conlangs?

The only consistent thing he's mentioned over the years is that while he thinks they're passable to a lay-audience as they are sprinkled through the books, that they wouldn't survive educated linguistic scrutiny.
And I think TDTCB appendix - in apparently only the NA versions of the text - with the language tree is the most detailed information presented within the books.

He based some of the languages on Greek. Know if he used any other languages?

No idea, MP :).
I'm sure there are relevant Zombie Three Seas comments in the old Author Q&A (http://forum.three-seas.com/forums/14) subforum.
