Languages in RPGs

Well, if you play an RPG with Languages that some players know and some players don't.

• Create a character sheet named the Language you want.
• Give the Language edit permissions to those who know the Language.
• Whisper to the language, so that you in real whisper those characters, which would be all the players you have given permission, and the others won't get anything.
• Like this: /w [Language] [Your Message]
