This suggests to me that you associate at least some aspect of personality with learned behaviour.If your PC learned a language like Common, then as long he is not deaf he should be able to understand Common while transformed into a different creature. The reverse applies. If the PC transformed into a wolf or a pixie, the PC would not be able to understand wolves or pixies simply by transforming into them, even if "Wolf" or Sylvan were on their statblocks.A pixie only has Sylvan on their statblock, but this does not bar them from learning a different language, such as Common. The language on a card is not a limitation, but a baseline for a creature/race's background. Your PC is not actually an animal, and does not share the generic animal's background. Henceforth your PC can understand languages (given a decent enough intelligence, say 3+) he learned, but not understand that the female lizard is hissing at him in a manner intended to be seductive. Your languages are a part of your background, and your background does not change.Any limitations in terms of intelligence would of course apply as usual, such as bad comprehension, or being unable to understand words entirely (in the case of intelligence 2, a skill as complex as language is lost to the PC). Perhaps the PC'd still be able to recall a few words though, I mean, my poodle can sit on command and high five when told to, even though English is not on its statblock.</blockquote>
