Well we know they can speak English. Y'know, Paarthurnax. On the subject of Miraak, I honestly think that's kind of the point. At this point in the game, you feel invincible, because you pretty much are. And then Miraak comes along and smashes that assumption. He has the same credentials you do. That's the whole idea of his character; to make you think about your own abilities.
