if you learn a cultures language do you learn it all...?

The vlaka [the wolffolk from the newish book] have three forms of speech for example. One for each of their disabilities. Just for an example.

They count as separate languages.

Core Rulebook, page 40: A character can learn the signed or tactile version of a language she knows, either as a bonus language or by putting a rank in the Culture skill (see page 139). A character who begins play blind automatically knows the tactile versions of any languages she knows; a character who begins play deaf automatically knows the signed versions.

Could tactile be used in a Morse code sort of way? If i wanted to communicate with all of them bind or deaf tactile would be the route to go it maybe the most used a deaf person could feel the beat while a blind person could hear it if tapped out.

Tactile maybe the hardest to learn as well. And well worth the skill point.

Im thinking tactile is supposed to be braille. I think morse code would be better handled as its own seperate language

Well a deaf person could sign but its still silent and a blind person might not be looking in the right direction. Wait never mind a dead i mean deaf person can see...... anyway wouldn't be easier just to combine sign and tactile into one communication method. It would allow for both to understand and the same would go for the unlucky few who were both blind and deaf.

Anyways if you learn a cultures language it allows you to speak, read and write thier language in one go, right?

I took tactile language to refer to tactile signing; as in a sign language based upon touch and not sight. The same way that deafblind people communicate in the real world.

Well what would you chose when it comes to the vlaka? I want to be able to communicate with as many of there folk as possable.
