The unifying feature of these powers is that the Echo is "the power to transcend" (literally, sometimes, in Japanese), and that they "break down the barrier between souls;" however to claim that it is inherently the same in everyone feels disingenuous. Realistically, if you could learn to control the manifestation of the Echo, that's what the Path and the Scions might've done, right? Those without the Power of Words learn it from those with, and so on--but that possibility has never been explored or hinted, as far as I can recall.
And English for that matter. It's one of Zenos's lines during the fight in Ala Mhigo, I think after the aether transfer phase.
