Well, it's just not that simple. IIRC (let me check my book:) the
description on the Sasquatch Entertainer Contact indicates an
unbelievable ability to mimic sounds. Why should this not, then, include
human speech patterns? The only reason I can think of that they might not
learn language (as we know it) is that they do not want to. They are
sophisticated enough to handle language through the means of gestures,
sign language, why not through speech? I'm quite sure that they must use
some form of vocal communication in the wild, so to speak, as very few
creatures do not. Therefore, why do they not attempt to learn human
speech? What if they simply don't want to (GM's, get to work:)?
