Nightmare Languages

Languages are essential to the way interaction occurs among players
and non-player characters.  Every discussion you will have with an npc
will be done through that npc's native tongue generally (although some
npc's are more aware of other languages).  

When starting as a newbie, you will not much notice this.  Newbies are
given full knowledge of all languages.  This, however, does not last.
Once you cease to be a newbie, you only know your native language,
which you learn based on your race.  

As time goes on, you may wish to learn new languages.  Certain npc's
across Nightmare specialize in teaching people other languages.  In
order to learn a new language, use the "ask" command to ask the npc to
teach you the language.  The syntax is <ask LIVING to teach me LANGUAGE>.
For example:
	ask the sage to teach me nymal

Not all teachers may know all languages.  The teacher must naturally
know the language in order to teach it.

The teacher will generally start spouting phrases in the language,
asking you to repeat them.  It is to your advantage to try and repeat
what the teacher is saying in the language it is being said.
