In greek mythology he is considered the fastest of the gods, so i guess they mean fastest runner of them too.
I got this from my Latin 1 class in school and double checked it on this website:

Hermes, the Greek god of trade, communication, and travel, is known for his exceptional speed and agility, making him the fastest of all the gods. His strengths lie in his ability to deliver messages swiftly and to travel between the mortal and divine realms with ease. However, Hermes can sometimes be seen as cunning and mischievous, leading to his weakness of being perceived as deceitful or unreliable by others.
Mercury, or Hermes to the Greeks, was the messenger of the Gods. I don't think he had any major weaknesses that I know of. He was generally a pretty good guy. Did what Zeus told him, helped people out occasionally. I don't think he cursed or punished anyone that I know of. He was constantly on the go, so maybe that he never really settled down with anyone one person, or goddess as the case may be, could be a weakness. I don't think that he shared all of the powers of the main deities of the time, but I'm not positive about that.
Different religions and mythologies attribute different fruits to gods, but some commonly mentioned fruits associated with gods include ambrosia (food of the Greek gods), pomegranates (associated with Persephone in Greek mythology), and mangoes (considered the fruit of the gods in Hindu mythology). Ultimately, the fruits of gods vary depending on cultural and religious beliefs.
The revolutionaries in Paris referred to the Catholic church as "Pantheon," which means temple for all the gods. This name was given during the French Revolution in the late 18th century as part of the effort to secularize the church and create a space to honor important French figures.
It depends entirely upon your pantheon, and what you mean by "language and people". If you wish to know about language in terms of how it is a means of intellect, there are many Gods known for their intelligence such as Odin, Athena/Minerva, Hermes. For writing specifically, I tend to work with Thoth, the scribe. In terms of people, there are many household Goddesses that look over families/towns/regions where they are held sacred, such as Isis, Bast, Brigid, and Rhiannon. If you mean language & people together, like a culture, you would look to the patron of that particular region or tribe (Athena in Athens, the Deified Pharaoh or Emperor in Egypt or the Roman Empire, respectively). O that last note, calling upon the head of the pantheon you, or your culture follow, may be the best way to symbolize inclusion of all. In the end, just work with whatever deity feels right.
Hermes was considered the messenger of the gods. He was the fastest of all the gods actually portrayed with wings on his shoes.
Hermes is famous for being the loser of all gods.
the messenger of all gods
As Hermes was a Greek God and the messenger of the Gods he was probably on at least speaking terms with all of the Greek Gods. I would say he was probably friends with most of the Gods and Goddesses as he was the herald/messenger.
