One idea would be to develop the source of their mutism - is it purely physical, like was their tongue cut out? Do they have selective mutism? Are you planning for their mutism to be temporary or permanent?

What kind of world do they live in and how would that affect their means of communication? For example, if they live in a medieval world with a low literacy rate, they might opt for sign language as opposed to written communication.

I also recommend this article which features a mute author talking about their experience.
