How would an Eldritch Abomination talk to godlike beings?

I have a being who I want to be sort of a divine Eldritch abomination and the beings he talks to are like unto sky fathers, higher dimensional beings. Now I know an EA would be hard for humans to understand but would beings of higher dimensions find it hard to communicate?

They might communicate in really strange and/or dangerous ways. I can imagine an eldritch abomination communicating not through sound waves by through "dimensional distortions". Whenever the bastard says "hi there", a universe collapses on itself

Or, like Treebeard and the Ents in LotR, they might communicate in very slow, subtle ways, like gravimetric variations or modulation of the electromagnetic spectrum. Punctuated with bursts of gamma rays.

How would they communicate? Carefully.

Probably shop talk, mostly

With abominations, such as the eldritch, maybe they don't speak to these gods. Maybe these gods receive visions, feel the vibrations of these beings, psychic communication, perhaps minds are altered while near these beings, or anything. Remember that an abomination that you can understand, is not an abomination, unless you don't understand what you understand. An abomination doesn't need goals or motivation, but it can speak and have motivations. If you wish to do this, however, be sure to make these abominations REALLY big characters. An abomination is not a side character, it is an abomination. It is strange, and it is called eldritch for a reason.

I recommend making the abomination accidentally send messages, subconsciously or something, or maybe the gods receive these messages subconsciously. When an abomination speaks, its big business. Gods don't just hear "Good morning" from their respective abomination everyday. Unless you want them to. Do whatever you want, but try to do something creative, if you can.

"Hey-hey! How things shakin' up here?

"Go away, Nyartlahotep. I'm still upset at you for driving my prophet insane."

Hmm, I actually had a character concept like this, and how it works was that said extradimensional Eldritch Abomination (a rather nonmalevolent one, who's the protagonist) sends the meaning it wants to convey to his recipients, which is automatically translated to the "language" of the other guy.

Helps when it has to communicate with a being that talks out stars (it creates stars to talk) and blows up stars to write (and it needs to write a 300-page essay for school).
