Picard: That’s how you communicate, isn’t it? By meme.
Dathon:
“he who expects the Spanish inquisition is a liar.”
or voyagers tak tak, the species were using metaphors/ and body language as a form of communication that only neelix was able to understand.
Same energy.
Never Gonna give you up. Never Gonna let you down.

Wondrous.

Amazing
Once again, the langue makes no sense. Unless it evolved from regular speech patterns other species have. Because it would require children to have been born with knowledge they shouldn’t understand to begin speaking the language properly.
The knowledge base has to be shared, yes. It’s aggravating, but we can let it go for the sake of the memes.
Stephenson goes for a more believable version of this concept in Diamond Age. The most common written language is pictograms, with a minority being able to read words. I suppose we could imagine the people then going from this stage to speaking the sounds associated with an image without understanding that the sounds form words with individual meaning.
