Automatic Languages

So, I have this idea, that I'm not sure if I can implement. I searched the boards from something similar and didn't find anything relative to this. I want humans to have "any human language" as a choice for their automatic languages. There are about 16 languages in my campaign that are designated as "human languages". I read a small bit about Forgotten Realms regions, but they only add the languages as additional allowed languages (but I don't think it mean automatic languages). Is there a way I can assign a language as an automatic language, such as a tag? Essentially, I want there to be a list of human languages that I can choose from to create the automatic language for a human (regions determine what language, with those regions not along major trade routes, and thus exposed to Common). Thanks is advance.

Hmmm, templates? That seems to be one solution, is there a more elegant one, or is this it?

Re-make the human race so that it doesn't offer common as a bootstrap, then add a script to it that increases the count of language slots the character gains from INT by +1 - then the user can select the language they've chosen.
