Where can I find the rules for regional languages (and affinities) in the Pathfinder Campaign Guide? I see mention of them everywhere, but no rules explaining what they are, or how I determine which ones I get.

The current Campaign Setting has the languages of the races listed at the top of each entry.

I assumed affinities (for feats and traits) was left deliberately vague because you would other wise have to define what made someone a member of a cultural group, a task which is pretty much impossible in our world without reincarnation, magic, multiple intelligent species, etc.


IIRC you gain affinity with a region by either being a native or spending at least one year there and putting one or two ranks in Knowledge (local).

Tommaso is correct.

It is listed on page 5 of the Campaign Setting, in the Golarion Characters, Feat description.

Do I get those languages for free? Or do I have to spend bonus language slots or skill ranks to get them?

For example, what if I am playing a human from Brevoy? What about a half-elf from the River Kingdoms? What languages do they know?
