 ===== Languages =====
-If you have no //Language// skill, then you speak your native language (probably Vilani), and probably know some common words and phrases in Ganglic. Translator devices are pretty common, so a skill beyond this isn't always necessary.
+By default, everyone speaks Anglic. Aliens will speak their own native tongue. NPCs may speak only a local tongue (people in the //Islands// may speak languages derived from old Earth languages).
-**Language 0**: You speak Ganglic, and know common words and phrases in other tongues.
+Taking //Language 0// gives you Anglic //or// Vilani if you don't already have it, plus the ability to make Language checks for common words and phrases in common languages (Aslan, Vargar etc).
-**Specialisations**: Each other language is a specialisation, you need 1 pt in it to speak it well enough for most purposes. 2 points you are completely fluent.
