Pathfinder allows one rank of linguistics, or any skill, per level. In this game, you will not know languages when you level unless you learn them. This requires spending time with characters that speak them or learning them from text.
Certain languages you will not know at character creation. I'll check the languages on each of your sheets !

Dudley has a 14 int. He's playing an elf. He auto knows common and elven. He gets two additional languages and takes sylvan and dwarf. He decides that he wants to know The Old Tongue. So, he puts one of his skill ranks in linguistics and applies it to 'The Old Tongue'. At level two he wants to put another rank in linguistics, but hasn't spent time trying to learn a new language. He cannot take a new one until he does. So, while he's level two he meets Tokobo a gnome. He spends 'days' with him on a boat learning gnome. At level 3, he is allowed to take gnome.
