The first thing it says under magical beasts:

"Magical Beasts are similar to animals but can have Intelligence scores higher than 2 (in which case the creature knows at least one language, but can’t necessarily speak)"

So it should know at least one language. To say it can't is just mistaken. From what I can tell, given there's no technical way to teach a familiar a language its something that has to be worked out with the GM. Personally I'm of the mind that a familiar should know all the languages its master knows, but I would respect a GM's ruling that said different.

I'm having a similar issue. But to me it doesn't make sense that a familiar would not know any languages or understand its master's words until level 5. It gets the ability to deliver touch spells at level 3, so wouldn't a wizard have to communicate who to touch? I'm pretty sure you can't convince it to touch someone emotionally o.O Also it would lead me to think that "Handle Animal" would be on a wizard's skill list if they didn't have the ability to communicate with them.

If a familiar can share you skills as per ranks why would linguistics be different? Pretty much all other magical beasts can speak, or at least understand a language or two.
