Hi all -
I've got a couple questions regarding languages.
I've been looking at the Bestiary looking for any languages that aren't available via Linguistics. So far, all I've seen is Dark Folk that the Dark Creeper and Dark Stalker speak. There could be another - but I haven't noticed it.
So is Dark Folk language just missing because the Core Rules came out before the Bestiary and was forgotten? Or is it not a language I can take? Are there others that I've missed, and are those able to be taken?
Next is the language of Aklo and its association with Derro and not Mites. Aklo is the language of Derro and evil fey. The Mites are evil fey, but they speak undercommon. Just wondering about this, as it seems that it would be perfect for Aklo to be the language both would speak (although they both speak undercommon). It's just their close association from Devil We Know series that makes me think of Aklo and not undercommon.

There are a few of monstrous languages not given in the core rulebook such as aboleth and drow sign language. I think it is just because these languages are more exotic on the surface where celestial or aquan is something more readably known and teachable.
Undercommon is the default language for many darklands creatures like cloakers. Most creatures that speak aklo are “off” like derro or yeti that are insane or trapped on this plane. It may just be that mites have forgotten aklo overtime and replaced it with undercommon.
