What HDL is Altera's MegaCore Functions written in?

When I creating a MegaCore function you can choose VHDL, AHDL and Verilog but I want to know are these just wrappers around some HDL that implements the Megafunction? I've been told that all of Altera's Megafunctions are actually AHDL. Is that true? 

 

thanks,

All of Altera's low level stuff is AHDL (just have a look in any db folder) but more complicated IP is often just a wrapper around whatever the IP core was written in. Not all IP is developped in house at Altera, but Altera themselves tend to write new stuff now in Verilog/SV

No. 

 

Increasingly they're just written in System Verilog I believe.

Where did you learn that they are being written in SystemVerilog?
