Not sure if they actually have their own language, I have not read anything that says they do. Then you have another problem how did the varanites learn to speak Dasarian and why is it so wide spread? If Dasarian is not common then you have another language in the mix. *tries to close the can of worms*
A good point. all three of my characters come from "a city far to the south" and would not have known how to speak Dasarian when they first arrived. In a world with plenty of intelligent, language speaking life, it is likely humans would not have spread out very far before learning basic communication and language, and spreading after that would keep the languages similar, like dialects in Chinese. Most of the dialects would be close enough that you could understand one another.

So IMO, Dasarian and Varnite would be more like different dialects than different languages.
