Hello Playground,

I'm putting final touches on a level 12 character for my game tomorrow afternoon (CST) as I am often want to do I have taken Linguistics at max ranks because knowing languages and written word is never a bad idea.
Background wise I'm playing a somewhat highly sought non-human Mercenary so I thought I'd focus my language decisions in the realm of languages that would be commonly spoken by other non-human mercenary groups.

We're playing in an socially unmodified Golarion for stereotype reference.

I've already got the core planar languages, along with gnoll, orc, goblin, giant, aklo, and tengu, and I need 3 more and have hit a wall.

Any ideas?

Thanks

I always recommend the alignment afterlife languages of Celestial, Infernal, and Abyssal, just in case any summoned or bound creatures need talked to.

Undercommon and Elven (for use with Drow) would also be good choices. Necril, maybe.

Edit: However... if you've got a troop with you, the best language is one essentially nobody knows, that you can teach to your companions. A racial language of an obscure monster - Shae (https://www.d20pfsrd.com/bestiary/monster-listings/outsiders/shae/), for instance.
