I'm not sure if I understand just what you're getting at or asking here.
Languages are their own seperate skill category, as are Active, Social,
Vehicle, Knowledge and Special Skills. Special Skills is just a catch-all
subset for skills like Police Procedures that don't really fit in any of
the other groups. There's no set difference in Karma Cost for raising a
Special Skill as opposed to an Active or Social skill, which I believe was
what you might have been thinking above. However, Languages themselves are
cheaper to raise at only 1x the New Rating in Karma.
SRII, page 190:
GOOD KARMA COST FOR SKILLS
General Skills 2x New Rating
Concentrations 1.5x New Rating
Specializations 1x New Rating
Languages 1x New Rating
