In the first half of the first episode of Hataraku Maou-sama, we can hear conversation between Satan and Alsiel in "Underworld" language. Is the "Underworld" language based on a real language, or is it just plain gibberish?

Is Hataraku Maou-sama still ongoing?
I just wanted to know where Hataraku Maou-sama is over/cancelled, or whether it is still ongoing. I read it up to chapter 88, but I can't find any newer updates about the manga or anything.
