Additional Information/Notes
I have 14 intelligence, and have only learned one other extra language so far, has persisted through multiple resets and everything. This is on the Underdark server, playing on PC.

This sounds like the exact issue I've had for a long time. I learned my first extra language (not counting any bonus languages) and suddenly everything just froze. No gains can be made from tinkers, other players, NPC tutors, etc.

There's three other languages my toon is supposed to be able to learn, but all progress is just frozen.

The only way I've successfully made ANY progress in the past year was through raising my character's base INT through leveling to test if that was part of the problem. I didn't keep that change though because it would be ruining my character's build just to fit in some languages.

I've made a bug report about this and done my best to try and figure it out with others, but if it's the same thing I'm going through, I'm not sure if there's really a solution? I know a few people spent a while looking into it.

In truth, the language system needs a thorough examination, one that is infact planned when time permits.

But as it stands there may simply be a bug causing any languages you have counting to the cap.

Please fill out these questions to the best of your abilities:
Languages gained by class?
Languages gained by race?
Languages taken on creation?
Languages learned during play?
Max hard ranks in intelligence?
Gift of learning?
Class bonus to language caps?

Great, because it really does!

Right now all progress in languages stops forever when the character reaches their language limit.
It's clunky and incentivizes getting ALL languages to advanced before hitting the language cap to squeeze the most out of the mechanic.

But I digress, that's more akin to feedback.

Prehapes something like ranger studied enemies can work? People select which language to learn and only those can gain progress

I'm playing a warlock, I'm not sure if they have a bonus to language caps. But it's pure 30 warlock.

Thankyou!

I'll look at each of these languages and see what's up.

I'm also going to ask a DM to get in contact so they can get your variables so I can side by side versus your list.
