Languages New and Old
Welcome to Two Bit Tables: Languages New and Old for those of us who love random
roll tables. Every game master needs a foreign language sometimes. Whether it’s to give
a foreign NPC a little flavor, the language the lost journal of Doctor Maniacal was written
in or the ancient carvings on the cave wall, foreign languages can spice up a game and
give the world a more dynamic, living feel. Below is a collection of tables that will allow
you randomly generate a foreign language when needed.

How to use these tables
Above is the master table containing 100 interesting languages to use in your game. For
English speakers who want a foreign or exotic language but roll English, you can treat it
as old English or a sub-dialect of modern English. Below are a set of more specific tables
designed to help you get languages suitable for certain situations. Table II presents a
collection of ancient languages suitable for use in dusty tomes or scrawled on tomb walls.
Table III presents a collection of common fantasy languages used in high fantasy settings.
This table can be used by itself or it can be used in conjunction with the master table. To
use it with the master table, roll a percentile die; if that die result is 10% or less roll on
Table III, otherwise roll on the master table.
Finally, Table IV presents a group of specialty languages and their descriptions. Their
use in game is uncommon but, for something very different, roll on this table.
