This seems to miss the forest for the atoms. Communication and language are collaborations, the intention of which is to be understood. I don’t personally believe we’ll ever meet intelligent life (if the universe is computational, I think it probably avoids ever having to sync rich timelines such as those of intelligent civilisations). If we do, I’m sure some will be inscrutable to us. But I suspect most will by definition try to understand us and make themselves understood. I don’t know what else “intelligence” would be.
