In the Toby Ragaini 2021 Q&A, Question 13, Toby stated:
:Originally, we were thinking that the different groups in Dereth would speak different languages that would be unintelligible to each other. So chat from someone that was Sho would be garbled if you were Aluvian. The linguistics skill was your ability to 'translate' those other languages. In practice, this was just a bad idea, and we realized, thankfully, that creating barriers to player communication was not fun.2021/07 Toby Ragaini 2021 Q&A: Question 13
