This suggestion was lost in translation in the Image Suggestion thread. Other ideas?

Why'd it tank, anyway? Not obvious enough from the silhouette that it's Chewie? (Cuz, I mean, it definitely took me a minute to realize that's who it was, so that's a fair complaint.)

It's not terrible clear that the human can actually understand the wookie and isn't just guessing from context.

That's still presumably the same language, just written in a different way.

Something with Groot and Rocket Raccoon? for example [1] [2].

[up]Last panel there looks like it'd work on its own.

The last panels in both of the Rocket/Groot suggestions work.

Suggested caption: "I am Groot." is a language all it's own.

I am not happy with the Groot example, because the trope is about different languages. Groot speaks the same language, albeit with limited vocabulary, which is more in line with Pokémon Speak.

[up][up]The one there to the right is very concise, and illustrates the trope well enough.

Good enough; 14.2's up and tagged. Caption?

Something in both Japanese and English would be ideal.
