People, the Covenant started speaking English because Cortana is inside the Chief's head so to speak ... if you go up to the hologram of Truth on the level where you kill him, he's speaking in some type of poetic giberish tones ... then Cortana snaps her fingers and you can understand him. I'm pretty sure that's why you can understand them in Halo 2. Why it wasn't in Halo 1 is obvious ... you weren't going to PLAY as a Covenant in Halo 1. =p
