orc language

If you have the ability to speak (orcish) does this also give you the knowledge of their religon and culture?

No. If your backstory explains why you have the language by saying you studied orcs or lived among them or the like, the GM might decide you get a bonus on Knowledge checks, but that's all.

im wondering if this is true that i can put it to use to procure information from a rac such as an orc. since orcs live in the wilds they have knowledge of trails and short cuts that most would not be informed of. this can also be used to quell any potental fight with the race if you were able to relate to them a little more or give ou a slim chance of dodging a confrontation.

Speaking their language might give you a small bonus on checks to convince them to help, but you'll still need the Diplomacy/Intimidate to back it up.
EDIT: No problem. Hope I didn't just give terrible advice.

The reason i asked is because on other fansty orcs will not honor a promise in (common) tongue but will honor one in their own (orcish) as to not offend their god. just throwing something out there lol
