It's directly comparable, because all the aliens apart from Isserley believe that the humans have no language. Just like we believe that pigs, cows etc. have no language. But they do communicate with each other, don't they? So... it's directly comparable.
Only Isserley speaks English because she's been trained to do so.
So it's directly comparable.
