The character must first he able to speak a modern antecedent of the language before learning the future version of it. This proficiency can only be learned through study in the appropriate time period or through the teachings of another with the desired knowledge.

For example, Articus knows the regional human tongue, as well as the languages of the elves and the dwarves. He also has the future languages proficiency covering the age of discovery. Traveling to this future age, the changes in the languages he knows present no problem, and he is able to speak the dialects with ease. While there, he also encounters a gnome.
