Consider orangutans.
In all the worlds graced by their presence, it is suspected that they can talk but choose not to do so in case humans put them to work, possibly in the television industry. In fact they can talk. It’s just that they talk in Orangutan. Humans are only capable of listening in Bewilderment.
–Terry Pratchett, Men at Arms (1993)

Precisely- they seem to be able to learn to understand us/our languages and we never do theirs and yet, consider them the ‘lesser’ creature.
