==Glossary==
 
The following are terms connected with race, but non-specific to race, and refer to multiple races.
 
 
===Race and Languages===
 
All characters know how to speak [[Common]]. A [[dwarf]], [[elf]], [[gnome]], [[half-elf]], [[half-orc]], or [[halfling]] also speaks a racial language, as appropriate. A character who has an [[Intelligence]] [[ability bonus|bonus]] at 1st level speaks other languages as well, one extra language per point of Intelligence bonus as a starting character.
 
*'''Literacy:''' Any character except a [[barbarian]] can read and write all the languages he or she speaks.
 
*'''Class-Related Languages:''' [[Cleric]]s, [[druid]]s, and [[wizard]]s can choose certain languages as bonus languages even if they’re not on the lists found in the race descriptions. These class-related languages are as follows:
 
**'''[[Cleric]]:''' Abyssal, Celestial, Infernal.
 
**'''[[Druid]]:''' Sylvan.
 
**'''[[Wizard]]:''' Draconic.
