They are free and DO NOT count toward the number of language the character knows based on Int bonus.Bonus Languages are those that a particular race or culture learned during the course of growing up, like learning the enemy's tongue or by having friendly relations with neighbors and in constant contact. They are free and DO count toward the number of languages the character learned based on Int bonus.Beyond that, the character can add more languages by spending 1 or 2 skill points. He or she is NOT LIMITED to the languages in the list above. IOW, he or she can choose any language, of course within reason (DM's discretion, but usually because the PC is exposed to the language constantly or willing to pay for a formal lesson).AFAIC, it is not restrictive. It does provide formats for game designers who wants to establish race's language list based on their own game world, if it differs from the default D&D rules.</blockquote>
