It doesn't mention it's not subject to the natural augmented limit, so it is?
'Sides, how many language skill modifiers are there?

Hey now, I'm just pointing out that every other skill-augmenting quality from Runner's Companion DOES explicitly state the augmented max limitations. Linguistics is the only one which DOES NOT.
I can't tell you if it's oversight, or intentional, or just poor rulebending.
That said, Language skills are particularly strange even as far as Knoweldge skills go since they aren't usually rolled. I realize RAW (and specifically SR4A) added the 1.5x ability clause, but if it were to be relaxed on anything, Language skills would be it. (Of course, reading linguistics like that makes the Bilingual Quality somewhat useless too, but that's neither here nor there)

None of those are really temporary.
Nonsense! If someone has MBW in, they get the bonus. If it's then removed from their system then it's gone. Temporary!
