D&D 5E Languages most used?

[Myrhdraak]

Elvish as they were the first civilisation before they left the world. Many elvish artifacts and old scripts. Orc being main evil force they come second. All magic comes from dragons initially, so draconic is number three. Common consist of akkad, amorit, and sumerian as the campaign is based on a Babylonian setting.

I prefer cultural languages, but that said it is sometimes easier to give anyone from a culture Elvish. It's lazy, but I think that if DnDbeyond supported custom languages in the character builder, rather than requiring putting them in manually in the character sheet, we'd use regional/cultural languages more.

It was really fun in 4e to have my Sembian halfling sabatuer know Netherese, and my Half-Elf bard know whichever human tongue was most common in the Grey Vale along with the Chondathan common in the Western Heartlands and the North.
