excerpt from that Splatoon dev interview from a 2017 issue of Nintendo Dream I’ve been translating, this part is about Jelfonzo and other jellyfish. Translation under the cut:

The Indistinguishable Jellyfish

Q: What is it about jellyfish that makes their speech so unique?

Inoue: You know how there are dictionaries of Japanese buzzwords? In the previous game, Jelonzo's speech was based on such a dictionary, but he memorized words from from an Inkling language buzzword dictionary from about 10 years ago, so he speaks in obsolete slang. In this game, Jelfonzo learned the Inkling language from their version of the Hyakunin Isshu* and other sources like that… He is trying to learn the language well, but the texts he uses is strange.

Nogami: Even so, they are able to talk with the Inklings fine, and they are probably very elite or special among the jellyfish.

--- Is the receptionist at The Shoal the same as the jellyfish in the previous game, Jelonzo?

Nogami: That's just an ordinary jellyfish, or rather, a jellyfish that is an employee at The Shoal. There are quite a lot of jellyfish in the world. In a similar way to how people claim they have a hard time telling foreigners apart, even though the jellyfish are individuals, the Inklings have a hard time telling them apart.

*Hyakunin Isshu - Classical Japanese anthology of 100 waka poems, each by different poets. Famously, these poems are used in uta-garuta, a card matching game. The card game tournament that Jelfonzo wins in Splatoon 2's Sunken Scroll 8 is in reference to this.
