Language (skill)

Language I grants the ability to speak and understand languages. Specifically 5 languages from the player's home world. Players originating from Earth gain Arabic, English, Spanish, Hindi, and Mandarin, if they do not already speak them.

Language II grants the ability to speak and understand all languages from the player's homeworld, as well as the native language of the Immortal Collective.

This is the first skill shown in the books. It is also the first skill many players interact with, though not every group discovers it. Nathan has remarked about how weird the skill is, especially when it comes to people who already had a partial fluency with one of the languages.
