Wizard Quell (WQ) is a secret language created by Durmstrang alumni in late 18th century in order to keep their conversations hidden from non-wizards (mugglez). This language is influenced primarily by English, Komi and Magyar. Since many words in WQ have multiple variants and no official grammar of this language exists, it's almost impossible for muggles to learn.
WQ was spoken by wizards all around the world, especially in Russia. However, due to October Revolution in 1917, most Russian wizards emigrated to Great Britain and France, so this language was abandoned. Only a few Bulgarian wizards continue speaking WQ.

Writing system

Wizard Quell uses Latin alphabet, albeit with addition of 3 extra letters: Ñ (sometimes written as Ń or Ň), Ö and Ʒ (since late '90s sometimes written as Ž, especially online), which are always pronounced respectively as [ɲ], [ə~ʌ] and [ʒ~ʐ].
However, WQ spelling is mostly irregular, quite similar to that of English.

Phonology

Wizard Quell's phonology resembles that of English, albeit with the extra vowel [ɨ] (like Russian ы). However, the exact realizations of WQ phonemes may vary depending on the diaspora.
E.g., wizards in Northern Russia used the following phonetic system:

Consonants

		Bilabial	Labiodental	Dental	Alveolar	Retroflex	Palatal	Velar	Glottal
Nasal		m		n			ɲ	ŋ
Plosive	voiceless	p		t				k
	voiced	b		d				ɡ
Affricate	voiceless			t͡s		ʈ͡ʂ	t͡ɕ
	voiced					ɖ͡ʐ	d͡ʑ
Fricative	voiceless		f	θ	s	ʂ	ɕ		h
	voiced		v	ð	z	ʐ	(ʑ)
Trill				r~ɹ~ɻ
Approximant	central						j	w
	lateral			l~ɫ

Vowels

	Front	Central	Back
Close	iː ɪ	ɨ	u
Mid	e~ɛ	əː~ɜː ə~ʌ	ɔː
Open	aː~æː a~æ		ɑː ɒ

Also, WQ features a multitude of diphthongs: [aɪ eɪ ɔɪ əɪ aʊ oʊ ɪəɹ uəɹ ɛəɹ].

Notes:

• The phonemic status of [ʑ] is unclear. This sound is most likely an allophone of /d͡ʑ/, usually appearing as a reflex of the same sound in Komi loanwords, e.g. кузь [ˈkuʑ] («long») is rendered as kouge. However, it tends to merge with [d͡ʑ].
• /r/ may be either a trill or an approximant (as in English). The most common realization is [ɹ].
• [u] is of indeterminate length, yet it's transcribed as simple [u] for convenience.
• /əː/ may be realized as [ɜː]. It occurs only before /r/.
• /ɑː/ may occur only before /r/. In English loanwords where [ɑː] doesn't precede /r/ (except father), this back vowel was fronted to [aː] (apparently under the influence of Russian and Komi languages) and then eventually to [æː] (a similar process also happened in American English).
• Before /iː/, retroflex sibilants are realized as postalveolar.
• Sequences such as /CɪV/, where C is any palatalizable consonant (i.e. except [j], [w] and all retroflex consonants) and V is any vowel other than /ɪ/ and /iː/ may be realized as [CɪjV] or, if the [ɪ] is unstressed, as [CʲV]. Similarly, /CjV/ is realized as [Cʲ(j)V].

On the other hand, British and Bulgarian wizards used a simpler phonetic system:

Consonants

		Bilabial	Labiodental	Dental	Alveolar	Postalveolar	Palatal	Velar	Glottal
Nasal		m		n			ɲ	ŋ
Plosive	voiceless	p		t				k
	voiced	b		d				ɡ
Affricate	voiceless			t͡s		t͡ʃ
	voiced					d͡ʒ
Fricative	voiceless		f	θ	s	ʃ			h
	voiced		v	ð	z	ʒ
Approximant	central			ɹ			j	w
	lateral			l~ɫ

Vowels

	Front	Central	Back
Close	iː ɪ		u
Mid	e~ɛ	ɜː ə~ʌ	ɔː
Open	aː~æː a~æ		ɑː ɒ

Notes:

• Bulgarians tend to pronounce /ð/ as [d].
• /æː/ is merged with /ɑː/ in Britain.
• /æ(ː)/ may be realized as [a(ː)] in Bulgaria.

This system is evidently aligned with English phonology: retroflex and alveolo-palatal sibilants are merged into their postalveolar counterparts, and /ɨ/ is merged with /ɪ/.

child	child (-dez), kid (-dez)	*[ˈt͡ɕaɪɫd (-dez)], [ˈkɪd (-dez)]	[ˈt͡ʃaɪɫd (-dez)], [ˈkɪd (-dez)]	The exact pronunciation of child in Koulömdin system is unknown; it was hypothesized from its Gothic cognate 𐌺𐌹𐌻𐌸𐌴𐌹 (kilthei). Apparently, the possible sound evolution was [kʲ] > [c] > [t͡ɕ].
