# Language Files

Most languages contain only two fields, the 'name' field which has no tag label and the TYPE tag. The Languages list file is used with the xxxskills.lst file for the CHOOSE:Laguage(>list of names<) tag. This file also tells PCGen what languages are available for races to choose form with their bonus languages based on their primary language stat (Usually Intelligence). Languages, like many other objects in PCGen, can be qualified with PRExxx tags. For example the Druidic language may only be learned by Druids so the Druidic entry contains a `PREVARGTEQ:DruidicLanguage,1` tag which prevents the language from appearing in chooser lists for the language skill or bonus languages. Any Class or Race which grants Druidic as a bonus language must place a `DEFINE:DruidicLanguage|1` tag in it to meet the prerequisite. This is not needed if the language is granted automatically by the LANGAUTO tag because it bypasses any prerequisites on the language.
