** As of ''Dragonflight'', this has been relaxed significantly, allowing players of opposite factions to communicate with each other in limited ways via certain languages. Void Elves and Blood Elves both speak Thalassian, Pandaren of each faction speak Pandaren, Demon Hunters can speak Demonic to each other, and Dracthyr speak Draconic. ''Dragonflight'' additionally added a questline wherein the player learns how to speak Furbolg (normally spoken by the bearfolk of the same name), which finally allows players from either faction to speak to each other after completing a fairly simple set of quests.

** Saburo Arasaka only speaks in Japanese even when talking to non-Japanese people. This is due to his [[NaziGrandpa Japanese Imperialism]] causing him to despise the English language, as well as the fact that since practically everyone in this setting has cybernetics that can translate speech there's no need for him to use any other language.
** Other residents of Night City can manage this as well. Hwangbo, V's client during the gig "Flight Of The Cheetah", talks in Korean the entire time, with V responding in English, and random [=NPCs=] can occasionally be heard holding bilingual conversations of their own.

This is averted when she shows up again a year later, having spent time in a zoo and now possessing basic English skills. By her final appearance, six years after her first, she's nearly entirely fluent.

Similar linguistic mixing (between English and French) is common on broadcasting stations in Québec and other predominantly Francophone parts of Canada, although the CRTC limits how much French Anglophone broadcasters in markets like Montréal can use in order to protect French-Canadian culutre.

* This sometimes happens in households when a married couple has different native languages. In fact, it’s considered a valid strategy for raising bilingual children. Each parent communicates in their native language only, thus the children end up speaking both languages fluently. This tends to be pronounced in countries with two or more national languages; for example, the Philippines and Singapore are fellow Southeast Asian nations that have English as one of their primary languages in addition to regional ones like Tagalog and Mandarin.
