Knows only a few dozen words, can count to 10. May

only communicate simple ideas. Complex communication (Bargain, Persuade, etc.) is impossible. For
example, Food. Sell me.
Gets across simple requests, enough to be understood
and survive day to day. Complex communications
(Bargain, Persuade, etc.) are Difficult actions. For
example, How much moneys for this leg of lamb?
Assured communication. One can speak better than a
stupid native, getting most ideas across. Communication skills are not restricted, but certain actions may
still be Difficult. For example, How much? But this
lamb was much cheaper yesterday!
Allows speaker to tell stories, sagas, songs, etc. Idioms and jokes become accessible. Your character can
pass for native. Complex communications are now
rolled at the speakers full skill. For example, Look
at this cut! The lamb was rotten before it was butchered, and is clearly not even worth the sweat of the
laborer who carried it here.
The language of poets, philosophers, scientists, and
diplomats. Not only can your character pass for native, he or she can mimic one or more local dialects.
Jargon and obscure forms of speech come easily. For
example, Surely the assessment of this specimen of
provender could be reevaluated in light of its advanced state of decomposition.
