AFAICT, the difference is purely cosmetic, and thus irrelevant from a game mechanics POV: For 40 points, your character speaks every language that comes up in the game. Whether it's a limited number of languages combined with a plot contrivance, being a communications droid who actually knows all known languages, or a prophet who's been given the gift of tongues by your tutelary deity is entirely a special effect.
