Despite having their own native languages, the races of the [[Covenant]] use the [[Sangheili]] [[Sangheili | Despite having [[Covenant languages|their own native languages]], the races of the [[Covenant]] use the [[Sangheili]] [[Sangheili language|language]] as a ''lingua franca'' for interspecies interaction. However, some races, such as the [[Huragok]] and [[Yanme'e]], have difficulty speaking other languages. To better interact with the Yanme'e, [[signal unit]]s contain translation software which translate another language into the Yanme'e language.<ref>'''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]''', ''page 311''</ref> While Huragok usually communicate with other races by a sign language,<ref> '''Halo: Contact Harvest''', ''page 53''</ref> Covenant ships also possess extensive lexicons which can give Huragok orders.<ref>'''[[Halo: First Strike]]''', ''pages 98-99''</ref> In the Covenant's early history, Sangheili could attach a translation device to their hearing membranes that allowed them to simply speak into the device,<ref>'''[[Halo: Broken Circle]]''', ''page 100''</ref> which then translated what the Sangheili was saying into [[hologram|holographic]] symbols that the Huragok could read.<ref>'''Halo: Broken Circle''', ''page 107''</ref> On the other hand, upon extended contact with humans following the [[Human-Covenant War]], the Huragok were easily able to devise speech synthesizers in [[data pad]]s, enabling them to communicate with comparative efficiency using the humans' spoken language.<ref>'''Halo: Glasslands''', ''page 309''</ref> Some Huragok created their own translation devices that allowed them to understand and speak to [[Kig-Yar]] and [[human]]s.<ref>'''[[Halo: Mortal Dictata]]''', ''page 135''</ref><ref>'''Halo: Mortal Dictata''', ''page 335''</ref> | ||
By [[2552]], the Covenant had created small disk-like translation devices that required connection to a Covenant ship in order to function. Once the devices were attached to the skin above Sangheili hearing membranes, the ship provided cybernetic input that could translate any language previously identified by the Covenant.<ref>'''Halo: Broken Circle''', ''page 277''</ref> The [[San'Shyuum]]'s [[anti-gravity chair]]s had their own built-in translation software which automatically translated other, previously known languages for them.<ref>'''Halo: Broken Circle''', ''page 22''</ref> | By [[2552]], the Covenant had created small disk-like translation devices that required connection to a Covenant ship in order to function.
