I need to use liquid to create templates but might only be able to access the Twig template language. Are these two languages basically the same thing, or are there differences in the language that would render it difficult to use Twig as a replacement for liquid?

Twig is a modern template engine for PHP This allows Twig to be used as a template language for applications where users may modify the template design. Flexible: Twig is powered by a flexible lexer and parser. This allows the developer to define its own custom tags and filters, and create its own DSL.
It is the backbone of Shopify themes and is used to load dynamic content on storefronts. It is safe, customer facing template language for flexible web apps. Twig and Liquid can be categorized as "Templating Languages & Extensions" tools.
Twig is a template engine for the PHP programming language. Its syntax originates from Jinja and Django templates. It's an open source product licensed under a BSD License and maintained by Fabien Potencier.
Liquid is a template language that allows us to display data in a template. Liquid has constructs such as output, logic, loops and deals with variables. Liquid files are a mixture of HTML and Liquid code, and have the . liquid file extension.
The basic concept is same for both Twig and Liquid, but some of tags and filters are different, so if you're asking if it's take'n replace, then the answer is no.
Note below the line - there is good documentation for both available online and I think you should definitelly do your own research before asking such a question. You can see the differences in couple of minutes...
