The PFS guide says that "Half-human characters (aasimars, ganzi, half-elves, half-orcs, ifrits, oreads, sulis, sylphs, tieflings, and undines) can choose a modern human language instead of the language of their nonhuman heritage. If they do not normally start with a language associated with their nonhuman heritage, they may still choose a modern human language."
Two questions on this:
1) What is meant by "normally"? That is, if I lose the nonhuman language due to a trait like "Scion of Humanity" or "Mostly Human", do I get a modern human language (to represent the people I grew up with)? Or is that not considered "normally" since it is an alternative racial trait?
2) If the answer to '1' allows a modern human language to a character with such a trait, and I had a character with one of those traits prior to Season 8 when that rule came out, can he be granted such a language retroactively (or choose an alternate language choice for a linguistics rank he may have previously taken to gain said language)? Is the answer impacted by whether or not the character has already been played since
Season 8 began?
Thank you!

1) Those traits are exactly what "if they do not normally" is intended to cover. Characters with Scion of Humanity, Mostly Human, or other such traits do get to choose a modern human language.
2) Yes, your character would get that language retroactively. If you took a rank in Linguistics to get the language, you can either change the language that the rank grants or retrain the rank in to a different skill.
