The Shadow
Hero
As yet there doesn't seem to be any way to learn other languages. It seems to me that the logical way to do it is via skill training.
In 3e, a language was equivalent to +1 in a single skill. Keeping that idea, one instance of skill training is worth 3 languages. (You can trade in one of your 1st level skills for languages if you wish. Or, if your GM is very kind, you can reduce one of them to +2 to get one language, etc.)
Literacy in a given script counts as a language.
The cleric, wizard, and warlock classes, and the Sage and Priest backgrounds, grant literacy in one script. (This can either be chosen by the player or set by the campaign, depending. ie, perhaps Draconic is the traditional language of magic, and almost all wizards learn it; or clerics of a given god might automatically learn to read the language their scriptures are written in.) Do note that a given script is capable of accommodating most languages, even if it doesn't 'officially'.
Any thoughts?
