Courtesy of translation software advanced enough to acquire and incorporate idioms.

For other characters and groups who somehow know English, extended periods of linguistic study for the Covenant and assimilation of humans for the Gravemind.

Don't forget 2401 PT. If 343 GS can speak English through translation software, it stands to reason that PT can too, and anything PT knows, Gravemind also knows.
Assuming assimilation on a mental level, as occurred with Cortana.

But how is the knowledge of the language acquired?
Tapping into a human's thoughts, perhaps?

But if this were true, why didn't the Monitor know that Chief didn't know what the rings or the Flood were, having had been assuming Chief knew about all of that the entire time when he was rambling in The Library?
Talk about benefit of the doubt.

Or a plot hole.

However, given that the Monitor (at least in Anniversary) detected the Pillar of Autumn before the UNSC got on the ring, he could have scanned the Autumn's (or Cortana's) information and downloaded the language and synthesis through there. But that's a bit of a stretch considering the fact that you'd think the UNSC would lock down all information exclusively to itself (and maybe to other UNSC ships) according to safety protocols.

But then how did Tangent know English?! And if he was speaking English, how did the Prophet of Regret understand him, going with his response of "AND, I am..."?!
Maybe Chief's translation software kicked in, and Tangent was only speaking in Covenant, in which that's how Regret understood him?
And maybe Tangent acquired the Covenant's language through their entire fleet and High Charity (or from Regret's ship) entering the galaxy? Perhaps in the same way he acquired English from the Autumn.

Thank you for giving such a helpfull adivice im sure it was hard for you to post the answer but ohh well at least you tried.
I DID READ CRYPTUM AND IT DID NOT EXPLAIN IT ?!? BEAT THAT !!
You didnt even realize what you just said.
Your saying that somewhere in cryptum its writin that after halo activation when everything died and rebuilt (the monitors knew this)the reclaimers would come and know everything about halo ?
Nice theory jerk.
