And knowing multiple dnd languages is helpful for things like solving puzzles in ruins, eavesdropping on conversations that people weren’t aware that you could understand in the first place or communicating with otherwise isolated tribes and communities. The majority of characters will start out knowing at least two languages, and through various other feats, backgrounds, and other potential backstory pieces, you can learn many more. This is almost always seen as the main language, and even if it isn’t, it is known in some capacity by almost all of the races humans, elves, dwarves, Tabaxi, Dragonborn, halflings and gnomes, you name it. There is one unifying language that is spoken by all except the most isolated of communities, and perhaps some uncivilized monsters, maybe, and that language is known, appropriately so, as Common. In some campaigns, language can be a bit of an afterthought, while in others it can play a really important role.
We’re gonna be talking about the 5e languages of Dungeons and Dragons (D&D).
