Aug 1, 2017 at 5:21 comment added John If there is no human language than your humans are not at "caveman levels" they are at chimp like levels, humans had language before we were human, we likely had it before we mastered fire. Your "humans likely do not have the brain power necessary to learn what the aliens want them to learn, so your aliens have to alter them or wait a few million years.
Jul 31, 2017 at 20:58 comment added Lars @Alexander is correct; there was no human language yet. And since the two species had never met, the other species also would not know without first studying humanity what kinds of sounds they were capable of producing.
Jul 31, 2017 at 19:27 comment added Alexander But if human language is non-existent in the first place, how do they go about it?
Jul 31, 2017 at 19:23 comment added A. C. A. C. @Alexander I just presumed the other species can reproduce the human language they want the human's to use at will since we can pretty much do the same today with speakers and sound editing.
Jul 31, 2017 at 19:17 comment added Alexander You seem to be missing the point about "different vocal chords". If humans have no adequate language, it has to be somehow created.
