So far as I've seen, this only applies to humans from their nationalities. Dwarves get dwarven, elves get elven, so humans get their region's language. As for getting the regional languages due to high int, I believe it does fall to Linguistics ranks. I think the languages listed under the race listings are exclusive.

Only humans get the regional dialects from their ethnicity for free. All other races are limited to the standard starting languages listed by race.
Under the language step of the character creation section of the campaign guide says all races get the modern languages (pg251 of the Inner Sea World Guide) added to the list of languages you are able to purchase with high intelligence.
And as a reminder, in order to make use of human ethnicities you need to have the appropriate additional resource, for that ethnicity, with you.

Which makes for some weird situations fluff-wise for especially half-orcs and half-elves raised exclusively by humans. My half-orc cleric from Qadira had never met an orc before level 9, but can still easily speak Orc. On the other hand, he is dumb as hell (int 8), and still hasn not learned to speak Kelesh. You now, the only language he probably heared for the first 15 years of his life in a small Qadiran village.
But rules are rules, sometimes they are just a bit silly, though.

For those without the ISWG, the Common Tongue is Taldane, the language of Taldor. Humans from Taldor and Cheliax don't get a regional language, as Taldane is theirs already.
Remember that under current rules anyone using any material from the ISWG has to own the book or PDF. This includes human ethnicities and languages that do not appear in the Core Rulebook. The only exception is the basic Wayfinder which was reprinted into the current PFS Campaign Guide.

You also have the option of creating a human character and, as your bonus feat, taking Racial Heritage (from Advanced Players Guide). That way you'd get your regional language instead of orc, but still have the ability to take orc feats (other than those from the Advanced Race Guide).
