Line 58:
** One of the side effects of the magical accident that killed her mother gives Luna Lovegood the ability to speak any language after being exposed to only a few sentences in it.
* "Lyra" Black from the ''[[Harry Potter]]'' fanfic ''[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13001792/1/All-According-to-Plan All According to Plan]'' by LysandraLeigh. She's a thirteen-year-old [[Alternate Universe|cross-dimensional]] [[Time Travel]]ing version of Bellatrix Lestrange who finds herself plopped into Wizarding Britain just before the beginning of ''[[Harry Potter/Harry Potter and The Prisoner of Azkaban|Harry Potter and The Prisoner of Azkaban]]''; she eventually discovers a couple years later that she's the possessor of a magical gift -- explicitly called "Omniglot" -- that allows her to absorb and learn any language by simple exposure. Unfortunately, she can't use it because the bond she made with a goddess of chaos at age five protects her mind ''so'' thoroughly that the talent can't pick up anything.
* In the ''[[Ranma ½]]'' fanfic ''[[Desperately Seeking Ranma]]'', the so-called "Sisterhood of Doom" (and a few associates) are given use of a "universal translator" spell by a civilization/corporation for whom they performed a massive service/favor. Once applied, it allows them to understand, speak and eventually write all known languages not only from earth but from uncounted alien/"demon" races across dozens (or more) realities.
