Garlemald - Language

[KageTokage]

I just chalk it up to narrative convenience that seemingly everyone has common as their first language instead of their native tongue.

There really isn't any logical explanation for it, since I don't think the Xaela tribes make contact with outsiders often enough to warrant learning it as their primary language. Probably even less so for the various types of beastmen who more often then not detest the races of man, though there may be some precedent for them wanting to learn it simply so they'll think more highly of them, as the Matanga are noted as having been mistreated by the Garleans due to their difficulty with speaking the tongues of man, which led to them being viewed as mere beasts.
