So, I cut "Common" from the game as it admittedly felt too "game-y" to make sense, though reading the AD&D books- I'm not sure there even is meant to be Common as a language (at least originally). Whenever it's referred to, its always as
So, really, it is meant to be the regional language spoken by humans. Or thats how I read it, hence, in our game this would be Sullian. Interesting other note on the opposite side of this is "alignment languages"- having a language common to all of the same alignment, and as soon as your alignment changes you forget it and instantly know the new one. I can think of no justification for this one that would stand up, and further I'm not sure anyone ever uses them in actual campaigns. |

The latter just makes no sense at all. xD Oops, forgot how to talk. But, fair enough in regards to common. |

That does exist in later editions but they tied the alignment language to the associated outer plane and made it the language of the angels, devils, demons, etc... The idea is they can talk to worshippers of their deities regardless of land or race. It's not meant to be taken by lesser mortals and I think is only achievable by reaching certain epic destinies like Exarch. |
