Q: How to characters acquire their starting languages?
A: there are four steps in character creation which the character acquires languages.
1) Race: A character gains all Automatic Languages listed in their racial entry, if their race lists national, they only receive one national language
2) When you chose your Nationality you chose 1 native language, If your character already knows all of their national languages, this language is lost, see table 2-6 for a list of native languages.
3) After hero creation the character gains an additional number of languages equal to their passive logic, 1 of which must also be from their nation’s list of languages, If your character already knows all of their national languages, you may pick any language.
4) If the hero starts with ranks in linguistics they gain an additional language, 2 if they start with 3 ranks or more.
