-This determines the capacity of the character to communicate in their Own Language (the primary language a character begins with) and Other Languages (all other languages the character knows before spending any Language Points). Their default levels of Fluency and Literacy are given for Own Languages and Other Languages. This has no effect on Languages bought with Points.
