Capability

It is the ability to innately speak, write, understand and communicate any language including computer codes, languages that has never been heard before, sign language (even lip-reading), illegible words, and backwards speech and writing. A user may even communicate with animals or read body language. This ability works by either or both of two psionic faculties:

•Receptive Omnilingualism- the psionic translation of any written language into the user's own native tongue, or through subliminal intuition of what by physical communication means. This ability may even employ telepathic faculty, where the psychic energy is read (by hearing or sight) to understand what the message is meant to convey.

•Projective Omnilingualism- the psionic translation of one's native tongue or telepathic/subliminal broadcast of one's communication intentions to the minds of others, so that one can speak one's own language and be understood by people who normally wouldn't understand the speaker. The user of this ability may not be able to understand others, but only cause them to understand him.

Usually, though, the ability is reciprocal, so that the user and the subjects can understand and communicate with one another efficiently.

The Traveler is known to have this ability. God is known to have an even more extreme form of this ability, in which he can also speak anything into existence.
