One of the many talents one can acquire, Linguistics will let you study and analyze other languages so that you can master them.

Speaking

To speak in your new language, simply SPEAK <language>. SPEAK by itself will list all languages you know, as well as your rank in that language.

Keep in mind, that while you can speak a language at any rank, you'll often make mistakes in your communication.

Writing

To write in another language, you can WRITE <thing> IN <language>. However, once again, while you can write in a language at any rank, there will often be words you do not yet understand how to write. As such, you'll automatically skip the writing of these words.

Ranks

There are five ranks in Linguistics:

  Untrained
  Elementary
  Intermediate
  Fluent
  Mastered

As you progress through the ranks, you'll find yourself able to understand more words. You will also gain knowledge faster through self-study.

Learning

To learn a language, you'll need to seek out the teacher for that language and then LEARN LANGUAGE OF <language> FROM <teacher>. To learn a language initially, it'll cost 30000 gold sovereigns. After that, you either pay for more lessons, or self-study by listening to other people speak that language and reading texts in that language.
