Bonus language for a Ysoki Pirate

[PawnJJ]

Hello, I'm creating a former pirate ysoki for my first Starfinder campaign.

I was wondering what would be the most believable bonus language he would pick up along the way.

He gets Common, Ysoki, and the native language of his 'home planet' for free.

Personally, after that, I would think the most appropriate would be Sarcesian (language of the Diaspora), Goblin (cause goblins be pirates, arrrr), Dwarven (cause there be dwarves in the diaspora too), Vesk, Draconic, Drow. At least, that's the order I'd put them in.

I'm a fan of taking signed common as a first bonus language. You never know when you'll need to communicate somewhere sound is impractical or impossible. Or, of course, with someone who is deaf.

I'd second a lot of these - my character is a technomancer from the diaspora with a LOT of languages and these are many of them.

I'd probably skip out on Vesk or Draconic (if he's a Diasporan pirate from the Pact Worlds) and go with something like Eoxian or Vercite, since those are the developed worlds near the Diaspora. My character also speaks Aquan, to talk to whatever bizarre creatures live in the river that flows through the Diaspora.

Forgot about Aquan. There may also be a tradition of pirates speaking to one another in Aquan dating back to Golarion. (That was always our 'pirate language' of choice, in my group.)
