Members of the [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] had their own unique languages. The races did not speak the same language due to evolutionary design restrictions; for example, the [[Kig-yar]] cannot speak anything other than a warbling hissing sound. To facilitate easier communications between member species, [[translation software]] is used on Covenant ships to decipher words. | Members of the [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] had their own unique languages.
