I am using experimental rules that treat languages differently. Each script counts as a separate language. Each character starts knowing their native language and its associated script plus two other languages or scripts. Each additional language from class or background lets them two languages or scripts.

A script only lets you read the letters/symbols It doesn't give you any understanding of the language.

A language lets you understand the words if spoken, or if written in a script you can read.

Some languages share a script, others may use several scripts.

Known languages and  [scripts]:

Common - [Common]
   Main human language.

Galician - [Common]
    'Latin'; ancestral human language.

Dari - [Common]
  Spoken by the desert tribes, including Lizardmen.

Rajasthani - [Rajasthani]
   Language of  the country on the far side of the desert that caravans trade with.

Atzinako - ['Commercial' Atzinako and 'Liturgical' Atzinako]
   Ancient language predating Galician.

Khepri - [Heiroglyphic]
   Ancient, possibly mythical language.

Draconic - [Draconic or 'Liturgical' Atzinako]
   Dragonborn speak Draconic and use the Draconic script.

Dwarvish - [Dwarvish]

Elvish - [Elvish]

Gnomish - [Dwarvish or Common]

Goblin - [Dwarvish]

Halfling - [Common]

Orc - [Dwarvish]

Sylvan - [Elvish]

Tabaxi - [Tabaxi]

Giant - [Giant]

You can use either STR or CHA as your ability modifier for Intimidation checks.

Druids, Nature Clerics, and Rangers can use either INT or WIS as your ability modifier for Nature checks.

Sling is considered a thrown weapon (use STR modifier).
