Racial Language
I know it is possible to learn the other languuages of races. Could somebody tell me where the different teaches are and if it is possible for a player to teach language?

I dont know, how that system could look like.
But what about this: An orc was slaved by humans for many, many years and always listened well, so he is able to speak some words in human language.
or: An elf lived for his whole life in a human town, thats why he is able to speak human, but not his own language.
I met a human, who spoke elven fluent.
EDIT: @ that cool llama under me:
Yeah, seems you are right.
I am only so sorry, that my stupid brain is not ables to create better examples than I did.

Lets put it this way, to get the language you'd need an EXCEPTIONAL amount of roleplay.
So its not just a 'yeah, my orc/elf/character lived with orcs/elves/other races for a 100 years and learnt their language', but rather you need to roleplay someone actually teaching you.
Well that's what they had told me anyway

The only learnable language is ancient and this one is yet limited to the mages.
All other languages are learnable in theory but in favor of the difference of the different races, no character will learn a different racial language. At least if he does not have a impressive roleplay background for this.

Would be nice if a high intelligence char could choose an extra language at creation, or acquire one later in the game, after some rp (other than ancient, which is only used for magic anyways, or talk between mages)
Also, @ the topic of languages, it would be nice if humans actually started speaking human..
Common is NOT human:P

Common language is the default setting, because it is the language to comunicate with all other chars... Lots of new players would not be to speak with other, would loose their motivation, because they are not able/do not ready know to switch from race language to common.
To prevent such cases, common is a default. You can select youself by typing the right command to swicth into race language.
