    Actually, if you read the codexs in ME1 it says exactly what @ThandalNLyman suggested.  The omni-tool/implant acts as a universal translator for people to speak to each other.  Honestly, do you really think Asari or Turians would lower themselves to only speak the language of such newcomers as Humans??  Not to mention the vast different languages even among humans...so Krogans, speak Krogan, Asari speak Asari, and Turians speak whatever....lol....and the universal translator puts it into whatever language is understood by the user.

    As a gameplay mechanic....yeah, I just as soon NOT have to read all the lines by Aliens in the game so they can mumble out their language instead of having a awesome voice actor really bring them to life....Looking straight at Wrex in ME1.

Oh yes I fully agree with you on that lol but I thought I remembered reading something along those lines, but wasn't sure. Awesome, you've answered my question, I no longer have to pretend that's the case lol.

Wrex kicked all kinds of * as a character. They brought him to life marvelously in my opinion.

Thank you all for your answers!
