Headcanon That Language In Ninjago Is Species Based And Doesn't Rely On Actual Sound

As in, any humanoid can understand any other humanoid when speaking, any snake can understand any snake when talking aloud, etc. which is why there has never been any instance of characters not understanding each other even when they come from literal other dimensions with very different civilizations. /But/ because they still use their own words to represent those meanings that everyone can understand, they develop their own written languages. With their own symbols. Since it's now a piece of paper or whatever trying to tell you something instead of another person you now can't magically understand it, and THAT is why each civilization seems to have its own ancient language and script even though they can all understand each other's speech without thinking about it
