How can I find a race's communication type? Not even twiddling around in the database helps, I just can't find it.

After checking the DB in the places I'd suspect this exists, it would appear that this has been removed from the game.

[Theodidactus]

That is pretty cool, I hope Steve finds a way to bring that back in some form even if only as a flavor option.
