Arcane Linguist

Arcane Linguist is a passive ability that enables a mage to speak and comprehend their allies' racial language (such as a human mage understanding draenei, or a troll mage understanding Taur-ahe).

It can be learned as early as level 10 from Mystical Tome: Arcane Linguist, which is sold by at Sisters Sorcerous in Dalaran (Northrend) for.

Notes and trivia

 * This effect was previously used by Glyph of Arcane Language.
 * Arcane Linguist only allows the player to understand the language of friendly playable races, not those of other languages, such as the Demonic or Shath'Yar languages.
 * It is unclear whether Arcane Linguist allows the comprehension of all the allied race languages.
 * For a while since patch 8.1.0, the passive did not function as intended. It was speculated that a stealth fix for Elixir of Tongues -- which removed the ability to speak the other faction's common language -- had the side effect of breaking Arcane Linguist's function for speaking the tongues of allies.
