I've noticed some errors in the chater Skills, subchapter Language
Skills, page 74 of SR2 (probably the same errors are in SR1).

SR2> Baltic: Estonian, Latvian (Lettish), Lithuanian

error: Estonian is not a Baltic language. It's a Finnic language.

SR2> Slavic: ... Georgian ...

error: Georgian is not a Slavic language. It's a Caucasian language.

Also, Finnic and Ungrian languages are only groups of Ural family.

These are not the only ones, but I dont think that it would be a good
idea to into this on the list.
