L3_Ranger 10-29-05, 11:34 PM	Hey guys, I need a list of the languages you can learn because my DM is gettin mad at me and I need a Players Guide. Could you send me a list plz?
Old Sage 10-30-05, 12:23 AM	The 1e and 2e FRCS boxed sets both contain listings of languages in the Realms, as does the 3e FRCS. Various regional tomes for 1e, 2e, and 3e also list off languages relevant for each particular region covered in the source material. The PGtF also contains racial language listings for each of the races which were updated to 3.5e. Pg. 85 of the FRCS has a list of all the languages and what countries they are spoken in. However, since you don't have access to the most relevant resources however, I'll point you to this website for a partial listing:- http://my.en.com/~mikem/fr1430/language.html
L3_Ranger 10-30-05, 07:19 AM	Dude, I was talking about the languages from the Players Guide v3.5! That is why my dm is mad! hurry up!!! and plz send a normal list, not some weird link to a semi-list of them. Thnx Thank u, L3_ranger
Old Sage 10-30-05, 10:14 AM	Well, it sounds like you're looking for information from the Player's Handbook. I'd assumed that your reference to a "Player's Guide" was related to the tome of the same name for FR... afterall, this is the FORGOTTEN REALMS section of the D&D message boards. I don't have that book with me at the moment, so I can't help you. Although, you might want to try the SRD (System Reference Document) here at WotC. Someone else can provide you with the link...

Thnx Thank u, L3_ranger Doesn't seem like a very respectful tone for somebody looking for help. I thought the Sage's link was a lot more detailed than one I would have expected.

I was a little put off by the remarks... but then I'd considered the fact that his DM is likely adding more pressure than they usually should for character creation, so I let it slide.

SPEAK LANGUAGE (NONE; TRAINED ONLY) Common Languages and Their Alphabets Language Typical Speakers Alphabet Abyssal Demons, chaotic evil outsiders Infernal Aquan Water-based creatures Elven Auran Air-based creatures Draconic Celestial Good outsiders Celestial Common Humans, halflings, half-elves, half-orcs Common Draconic Kobolds, troglodytes, lizardfolk, dragons Draconic Druidic Druids (only) Druidic Dwarven Dwarves Dwarven Elven Elves Elven Giant Ogres, giants Dwarven Gnome Gnomes Dwarven Goblin Goblins, hobgoblins, bugbears Dwarven Gnoll Gnolls Common Halfling Halflings Common Ignan Fire-based creatures Draconic Infernal Devils, lawful evil outsiders Infernal Orc Orcs Dwarven Sylvan Dryads, brownies, leprechauns Elven Terran Xorns and other earth-based creatures Dwarven Undercommon Drow Elven Action: Not applicable. Try Again: Not applicable. There are no Speak Language checks to fail. The Speak Language skill doesn’t work like other skills. Languages work as follows. • You start at 1st level knowing one or two languages (based on your race), plus an additional number of languages equal to your starting Intelligence bonus. • You can purchase Speak Language just like any other skill, but instead of buying a rank in it, you choose a new language that you can speak. • You don’t make Speak Language checks. You either know a language or you don’t. • A literate character (anyone but a barbarian who has not spent skill points to become literate) can read and write any language she speaks. Each language has an alphabet, though sometimes several spoken languages share a single alphabet.
