She's multilingual, which we see in action several times. Languages we know of: she can talk to Lockheed in his own language, knows enough Skrull to bluff the Skrulls about being one of them for the crucial minute it takes to get her hands on an weapon, knows enough of the Breakworld language to decypher the inscriptions (which is what makes Hank suspect her, remember), and speaks her father's language. (We don't know the species yet, and in the one panel from her childhood in Secret Invasion we see his speech bubble yelling in whatever language, but not him.) Whether this means she grew up off world or on Earth is up to fanfic to decide, so far, but considering she choose Earth as her loyalty, I'm assuming the later.
Then there are her tattoos on each forearm, "Grace" and "Anne". I can't make up my mind about whether they were girlfriends or sisters, but I bet the women in question are dead, and that's why she has the tattos. Note that "Abigail", "Grace" and "Anne" are all sort of old fashioned names.
