Over on Storium I've gotten into a Traveller game.

I was wondering what languages my PC might speak. Current date 1115 Imperial.

PC - traditional transrift Aslan, outcast starport guttersnipe, space pirate with non-Aslans, Darrian prisoner on Torment.

Brief web research tells me: Obviously he'll speak Trokh, and at least one of Trade Vilani, Anglic, and Basic Sylean. In game it is established that the Darrians will teach prisoners Anglic if necessary, so that is presumably de facto language on Torment.

The origin of his deceased fellow pirates hasn't been determined, except that one was a Sword Worlder.

Any thoughts on which other languages he might speak? He is not the sort to learn languages with an immediate reason to.
