My Shaman wants to learn Orcish. We seem to be able to understand NPCs well enough; I want to learn how to speak to PCs. Why is this still not a thing?

Cross language / faction stuff would let people cheat.
Elixir of tongues allows you to read what the other faction is saying.

Why should it be a thing?
I mean, in a fantasy game that takes place in the 1300s in Europe, NOT in modern America…

Human: “Okay, how do you say victory?”
Orc: “Lok’tar.”
Human: “Yeah, I knew that, heard it plenty of times. How do you say happy?”
Orc: “Lok’tar.”
Human: “Wait, it’s also lok’tar? Or did you misunderstand my question?”
Orc: “No. It’s lok’tar. Both of them are lok’tar. It’s context based, you know?”
Human: “Ah, I get it. Well, lets continue. How do you say I feel ill?”
Orc: “…Lok’tar.”
Human: “Really?!”
Orc: “Look, I’m lok’tar, man, we Orcs just can’t lok’tar it, it’s just how lok’tar our lok’tar is, you lok’tar?”
