Jinns (Dijinns, fallen angels, supernatural beings, or spirits in other cultures) are other dimensional beings in Islam and other Abrahamic religions.
Christians refer to them as Fallen Angels.
However, Muslims know that jinns (including Iblis) were sent down to earth. Christians consider them angels, so they are called “Fallen angels.”
I cannot describe all the information about these staggering beings in a single article.
So, I decided to break down the discussion of the jinn into several topics.
Here, you will find the answer to the question, “what language do jinns speak?”
But certain questions come into the mind of a critical thinker who listens to this question.
First, do jinns really speak? If yes, how do they communicate?
Is Jinns and human interaction possible? Do jinns speak all the languages? And so on.
I have provided information to answer these questions that may pop into your mind. Let’s face them.
What language do jinns speak?
If you are in a hurry and looking for a quick answer to what languages jinn speaks, the answer is any language that humans can speak.
Now, to identify the language of a specific jinn, you must look at the location where he/she (because they have genders) lives.
If a jinn had been born and lived in the USA, he is likely to speak English. In comparison, those living in Arab countries will speak in Arabic.
In Pakistan, jinns speak the language of the area where they live. In Punjab, they are more likely to speak in Punjabi or Urdu. Meanwhile, in KPK, the jinns may speak in Pashto.
The reason why I mentioned information about Pakistan is that most people believe that jinns speak in Pashto.
This fact is partially ture as it may speak in this language if he/she has learned Pashto. But they are not bound to talk in Pashot. Jinns can speak in various languages.
Now, you can close this tab as you get the answer to this question. But, if you are a knowledge seeker like me, I highly recommend reading the information below to learn more about this aspect.
I will prove that Jinns can speak any language by referencing the Quran & Hadiths and a real-life recorded encounter.
Evidence of jinns speaking and understanding human languages
The best resources are the Quran & Hadith for me as a Muslim to find information about any subject.
Some instances of interaction between jinns and humans are enough to prove that they can speak and interact with humans in our languages.
A complete Surah, Surah Al-Jinn, is revealed in the Quran, which tells the story of a tribe of jinns passing through a place where Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) recited the Quran. And jinns hear the recitation.
As you know Quran was revealed in Arabic, and the language that the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) used to speak was Arabic.
In Surah Al-Jinn, Allah showed us their reaction after they heard the Quran for the first time:
“Say, It has been revealed to me that a group of jinn listened (to the Quran) and said, ‘Indeed, we have heard a wondrous Quran.’” (Quran, 72:1)
This indicates that the jinns heard the Quran, understood it, and discussed it with their fellows. This proves that they can understand and speak in our languages.
That tribe of jinn consisted of Arabic speakers.
Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) then went to a group of jinns to recite the Quran, and they listened to it.
Another proof is that Hazrat Suliman (King Solomon) was a Hebrew speaker, and they had authority over jinns. Prophet Suliman had used jinns for various tasks. This indicates that jinns also know Hebrew.
Even animals have languages because Prophet Suliman is known to speak and understand their languages. This was a gift for the Prophet from Allah.
These instances indicate that jinns can speak in human languages and use them to interact with us.
How do jinns learn a language?
Jinns are invisible beings that live in another realm, as the Holy Quran states:
“Surely he (satan) and his tribe see you from where you cannot see them” (Quran, 7:27)
Meaning that we cannot see them, but they can see us. Similarly, we cannot hear their casual conversation but they can hear us.
Jinns live in places where we live, as the hadith states:
“The veil between the Jinn and the nakedness of the sons of Adam is that when a person enters the Kanif, he should say: Bismillah (in the name of Allah).” (Sunan Ibn Majah 297)
The word Kanif in this hadith represents a place where a person relives himself, like a washroom. So, this indicates that they can be in our living places.
Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) also told us a dua to recite before entering the washroom to be protected from male and female jinns.
The purpose of mentioning these references is to inform you that they live in our houses and can see and hear us.
Now, imagine that a cute baby jinn is born to a family of jinns living in the house of an American family in LA (Los Angeles).
That American family does not know that these supernatural beings are living there, but jinns can see and hear them.
Now, the baby jinn will grow up in this household, learning the language of the people living there. If the American family speaks English, the baby jinns will grow up learning English. That’s it!
When that baby grows up, he will talk to his children in the same language, making a family of English-speaking jinns.
Thus they learn a particular language. They can learn more languages later, as some of us do.
To be honest, I can understand and speak three different languages.
Jinns are intelligent beings like humans but have much less IQ than us.
I will explain their intelligence in another article but let’s see a case of exorcism in which a girl was possessed by 6 different jinns at the same time!
The case of exorcism of Emily Rose (Anneliese Michel)
I am not going into the deep history of this girl. But for the sake of information, she was diagnosed with some mental illnesses. But the story does not end here.
She was later possessed by 6 different jinns from different ethnicities.
Each spoke in different languages with Ernst Alt and Arnold Renz during exorcism.
The audio recordings are available on YouTube. You can listen to it and find that those jinns are talking in languages that Anneliese Michel was unaware of.
This is a real-life example of how jinns can speak different languages.
Here comes another point, they might speak ancient languages!
Jinns can also speak ancient languages.
Jinns live long lives. They may live up to thousands of years. They can also speak ancient languages that are either rare or completely extinct.
Take the example of Etruscan civilization. Their language was extinct around 1974 years ago. So, if a jinn who lived in that time is still alive, he may communicate in that language even today.
Jinns are intelligent beings, so a language is necessary to communicate. Even animals use vocals or other types of signals to communicate with each other or opponents.
