Ignore my gamertag. It's actually Dragonzzilla.

A have a few questions about Jackals.

First, can they speak and understand the language of other species? Because they only appear in barks and growls similar to reptiles.

Second, is it possible for Jackals to develop friendships with other species as well?

I think they need translators...that's my guess.

As for developing friendships...yes. Their concept of friendship is one based on mercantile. If it is profitable...then friendship is possible. That is the nutshell explanation.

Wait, can Jackals have merchant-princes? I believe so.

They had a queen. Jackals are matriarchal.

They may have a Queen, but until its answered, there can be Merchant-Princes.

Your one stop shop for all of 343's fabulous errors and ridiculous notions in the Halo lore.

There was a Jackal Pirate-Prince would needed an Arbiter to be used to be put down.

And if there's Pirates, there can be merchants.

There is no evidence that they cannot understand the languages of the other species, and they could understand the commands of yayap. It is possible that they were using translators.

On the subject of friendship it is possible for jackals to at least respect other species (yayap becoming an honorary jackal).

Don't know. They just seem to be all in one group when I fight em.

jackals are merchants pirates and mercenaries infact most jackals in the covy army are just mercenaries also many say that if humanity had found jackals before the cov. and we established good trade with them that we would be allies

I'm not sure whether it said in Contact Harvest if Dadab was speaking Jackal or if Chur Y'ar was speaking Grunt, but I'd imagine a Jackal could learn another language, maybe they just don't like speaking English?

Yes, Jackals can befriend other species, their culture is trade and piracy based, so as long as you've got good business or something they're interested in they'll be perfectly happy to trade with you...or steal it from you.

Cole Protocol. It has all the answers. They obviously could, and therefore can, understand humans and their languages, and they did form an alliance("friendship") with humans.

They may be able to understand other languages, but not speak them.
