The Forerunner questions/speculation

[WonderWombat]

Ok, so I was wondering about the use of english in sci-fi and eventually got around to thinking about Halo.

 

English is obviously the dominating language for humans and the Didact and Librarian use English, and in the books they aren't stated as using something different. So I was wondering if it is possible that the forerunner's native language was eventually english as well given that the precursors made both of them, and the forerunner essentially guided humanity to the point they are at.

 

Also the forerunner are from Ghibalb, so does that mean their species would be Ghibalbians or something of that nature?

My theories-

 

1) The Firerunners indeed spoke out Language, and the Librarian made sure we did in our genes(If she could create Master Chief, this is possible)

2)When the Forward Unto Dawn was scanned by Requiem, all human recirds(including language) were kept and uploaded to Librarian/Didacts armours, allowing translation.

3) The UNSC records on the Firerunners+ data held by Cortana was uploaded into Chief's helmet, and the speakers In the helmet translated the way they do for Covenant races in 2,3 and ODST. The rest of people so not understand them.

 

All three are possible IMO.

 

Oh!

 

Or the Precursors spoke English, teaching it to Forerunners and humans. This would explain how the Gravemind speaks it also (Though they did assimilate hundreds of Marines)
