MageStealthily nerfed in patch 8.1 to now only allow you to understand friendly races languages when spoken, not speak them yourself, severely limiting this abilities usefulness for any sort of actual conversation and completely eliminating most of it's worth for roleplayers.

This appears to be bugged as of 8.1. A number of folks I've spoken to who have it on their mages have said the languages are gone. My blood elf shows only Orcish and Thalassian, even though the Arcane Linguist buff is still in my spellbook.
I am so pissed right now because of this. I used to RP a BE who learns and speak Zandali and it was cool to speak and fooling around by using other languages. Thanks, smol indie company
