Probably. Quirrell teaches at least one spell which is clearly neither of English nor Latin origin.
Excellent point, I'd forgotten about that. Ma-ha-su.
Since Eliezer does nothing accidentally, this is very strong evidence that wizards invent spells with words related to the language they speak, and that spells then have a high turnover rate that doesn't let them survive longer than their languages.
