Anti wrote:Do all Trade Languages have a difference literacy skill? Or is it like mandarin and Cantonese where the languages are completely different, but they use the same writing system? And if they all use different written systems and the languages all have different base skill % I'd assume all the different literacies MIGHT also have different starting base levels too. So where can I find a section of literacy in the three galaxies?
Yep all the trade languages have their own written languages. There's a part in one of the flavor text somewhere with the same message on a sign written in each of the different trade tongues.

Thank goodness somebody else thought the same thing I did.

The 3 galaxies trade languages are for the most part just the most common languages used in the 3 galaxies. They aren't some languages just created to facilitate trade. There are lots of humans so their language is a trade tongue. There are lots of Wolfen so their language is a trade tongue. There was never any Emperor figure like in China to make everyone use the same written language so they stayed the same as they always were.

This one made me chuckle.
