Do rogues start with 5 languages now? (feddit.it)

In dnd 2024 every character knows common and 2 standard languages.

A rogue ability grants to the rogue the knowledge of the "thieves' cant" and allows to select a language from the rare languages table.

I don't understand if these 2 new rare language add to the first 3, making every rogue start with at least 5 languages, or if you just replace the two standard languages with "thieves' cant" and another rare language.

Any suggestion on the proper rule interpretation? Also I have similar questions for druid and ranger abilities that grant new languages.

In addition to what makeshiftreaper said, DND Beyond character builder treats them as additional languages, not replacements to what you normally have, so yes 5 appears to be correct.

Thank you, I think this ends the discussion!
