Many of you asked me how much learning all languages costs.
The answer is 6,908,720,000 gp or 1,328,600 cr at 5,200 gp per credit.
I remind you that there are 12 races, and Vertani (which has no cost in
terms of either gold or language lessons.) [see READNEWS VERTANIPLOT 52]
On top of these languages we can speak but they not may be learnt by
study. Each is gained by a specific race or group and is not teachable:
Ashtani, Cyrenese, Eleusian, Hashani, Mhaldorian, and Shallamese.
Additionally there is Dragon, and Divine neither of which we can learn.
This means that the languages we can learn are these 12: Atavian,
Dwarven, Grook, Horkvali, Human, Mhun, Rajamalan, Satyri, Sireni,
Trollish, Tsol'aa, and Xorani.
As of today credit market establishes a price of 5,578 gp per credit.
Here follows a chart of my conclusions. Please do correct me if I am
mistaken:
