I think Condathan is the main human language. Are any others very important in the Realms? Chondathan is "western" Faerun and Damaran is "eastern" Faerun.  "Common" would be advisable as it's the language of trade and negotiation.  There's no single "main" human language on Toril, just like there's no single human language on Earth. Depending on what you have them doing, racial languages might be important, or scholars/mages might study some of the "dead" languages or even the various Underdark languages.

The FR backgrounds also provide a bonus language, allowing each player to have at least one local tongue (I also allow players to take a general background and a bonus language). It should work.
