Languages of Magvel
The languages of Magvel are varied, nearly every language has roots in a species or race that championed the creation of the language. Many of these are available to learn for anyone that has the drive and desire to, through books and native teachers, with the only limitation being the time and energy that you have available to learn. This is true for all but a few languages that have specific limitations such as racial or class requirements that will require a greater investment than mere study in order to master them.
Most languages have two components, a written component, and a vocal component. Each of these aspects must be mastered in order to be fluent in a language and employ its full range of communication and benefits but there are many people throughout the world that just pick up parts of the writing or parts of the speech. This is often a long process and all but the most studious of adventurers are only going to learn two or three throughout their adventures, those that commit their lives to learn six or more are truly spectacular people that have seen the world or locked themselves up in a tower with books to accomplish such a feat.
