This file provides an overview of 89 different languages (not counting dialects and cants). It covers secrets that may be learned from studying different extinct languages and discusses the development, prevalence, and usage of living languages in the Amazons Vs Valkyries setting.

Expanded rules for learning and comprehension are included that create five levels of proficiency (Non-proficient, Bits and Fragments, Basic Comprehension, Fluent, and Mastery) which reflect the real world classifications of language skill.

Language families, their dialects, and relationships are discussed and related to the rules on learning and comprehension, making it easier for characters to learn languages that are related to languages they already know, and harder to learn languages that are completely foreign to them.

Although designed for Amazons Vs Valkyries, these languages and rules can be adapted to nearly any other OGL game, providing a whole new layer of depth, detail, and verisimilitude.
