Minor Languages

These languages are little more than local dialects, and do not appear in the general listing. All benefits listed here are reciprocal. As usual, these skills can be used “untrained” if the character has sufficient ranks in a related language.

Elemental (Extraplanar) Languages

This class of languages circulates among outsiders, elementals, fey, and other beings with little in common with mortals. These languages have multiple “registers” of use, which are mutually intelligible to natives. A fire elemental, for example, might “speak” Ignan as a mixture of crackling sounds and light, and a hound archon might respond using a purely vocal register of Ignan, since it can’t pronounce those crackling sounds or give off light. For simplicity’s sake, we count all these registers as the same language. Spending ranks in an elemental language means you can speak that language in your natural register, and you can understand similar registers. If you are literate in the language as well, then you can understand any register of the language.
