Point value of being unable to learn language above broken/accented - Page 3

I vote for the Taboo Trait for non-native languages. Non-native languages cost CPs. If I don´t buy them, I don´t spend those CPs. It would be free points for PCs who never want to learn another language. The same as "Cannot learn Bow skill" for a PC who never wants a learn Bow skill. If that would be legal, my PCs would get quite a few such "disadvantages".

To be clear, this was meant to apply to your native language. I agree that restrictions on being able to learn foreign languages are a 0-point feature. Limited native language capability seems like more than a feature because Dyslexia (-10 points) is worth significantly more than mere illiteracy (-3 points).
