Well, no, not quite. It's every
commonly known language in the game. The GM is still allowed, with Omnilingual, to say "Sorry, you don't, in fact, know the ancient and secret language of the Reptile Men who died out three millennia ago", and similar restrictions on other languages you just couldn't reasonably know.
To overcome this limitation, I'd suggest a +50% Cosmic enhancement on Omnilingual, "Truly Universal". That would cover any language ever spoken on your home planet ever for Omnilingual, or basically every planet (or space habitat, mysterious alternate dimension, nebulous gas cloud, etc.)
ever, for Xeno-Omnilingual.
