Or do the beastmen understand the language of Eorzea but either choose not to or are incapable of speaking it themselves?
I think it works like in early Harry Potter...specifically like in the first scene he speaks it to a Cobra , Ron asks him where did he learn it or how and Harry is like "Huh? what are you talking about i was speaking normally with it" even tho later on it contradicts itself by Rob been able to speak it...the point is we speak normally but when the sound of our voice reaches the beastment's ears its already "translated" to their language and same the way around . We don't learn to speak all the languages in Hydaelyn ..the sound of our voice becomes universal and is understood no matter who receives it and this leads me to think who gave us the Echo was Siren
