As of this posting.. 24 Hours Users Online in the Last 24 Hours 0 Staff, 15 Members, 180 Guests. That seems kind of high to me to be honest. Looks like we have a LOT of lurkers here!  |

Quite a few. All hoping to glance at that tidbit of information.
Here's one: Elementals speak Tatlum.

How long does it take to learn languages and does it work like the skill code

Languages are learned randomly. Rather, there's a random chance of it appearing on your skills list. Unless you're the Bard subclass, the chance of you randomly gaining a language (or accent) Is really small. If I had to guess, it'd be a 1 in 32767 chance.
After you know the language, it skills up like any other skill.

You learn the language from being around it. The way I think it works and this is all theory is that the moment you hear an 'unfamiliar language' you learn it invisibly in your skill list. I think that skill has a cap that eventually branches the actual language. Depending on wisdom and all that.
Of course your theory could be just as true as mine. Where you just randomly pick it up. I have had characters learn languages the first or second time they heard it which is strange and stupid at the same time. I prefer my idea.. :/

blasphemy's got the right of it, far as I know.
I've had PCs also learn a language within 10 minutes of hearing it the first time, and the same pc (with ai wisdom) taking months to learn others, despite being around them a LOT.
Delerak's would be interesting and make sense, but sadly, it can't really be the case.

I always have these great ideas that get ignored simply because of my name. Sigh... A ton of what is implemented on Arm nowadays started as an idea thread of mine that was shot down at the time, eventually it got implemented years later. |

Accents work the way you're thinking of, but when you first branch a language, it's at about 1% and when you branch an accent, you've had it (unseen) on your skill list until it gets to about journeyman before it shows up. |

I suspect the whole language thing came from old old old Diku.
