Starting Languages Tian-Min

Does my PC from Tian-Min get Tian and Minkaian for free?

[Dylos]

Well, the guide says that all Tien PCs get Tien for free, so as long as you pick Minkaian for your ethnic language you will be good.

Thanks :)

That's assuming we're talking a human PC, since they're the only ones that get ethnic languages. Otherwise, you get your racial language (elf, dwarf, halfling, etc).

If you have the Dragon Empires Gazetteer (which you have to have in order to learn Minkaian), you can select the Tian-Min human ethnicity, which will grant you Tien and Minkaian for free (and the Guide gives you Common for free).

If your character isn't human, but comes from Tian Xia anyways, the Guide grants Tien for free, but you'll have to use a bonus language or Linguistics for to pick up Minkaian.

It does? I hadn't realized that. That will be really nice for letting my Tian Dhampir actually speak his native tongue... haha.
