As far the WoL goes, it's pretty much a given that we have the Echo power to transcend words. If I recall this was played with more in 1.x where the beast tribes didn't speak Eorzean common and your ability to understand them wasn't common.
Both true, and false.

This is a difference in localization, since everyone speaks Japanese if your settings are put to Japanese.

In terms of lore, it's not entirely confirmed, since it's both mentioned as a "dialect" and a different language. You also have the ancient language in the lore, which is supposed to be a different language all together.

Buth otherwise, everyone there seems to be speaking a common language, it just that some words sounds "funny" because it's a dialect.
