I do not now, nor will I *ever* care, even a tiny little bit, about any argument that is entirely or even just primarily about some not pick of word choice or trivia or whatever. I don't care about internet argument win points. So, to address the bits that aren't just nitpicking: Other races speak English for the same reasons my white neighbors speak Spanish. Like...people speak multiple languages, man. Further, many languages are related. The language of the forest dwarves is essentially a Germanic language, closely related to Old High German. Many words in many languages come from ancient non human languages, and many non human groups speak the same languages as groups of humans. Many Djinn, Alfar, and various Fey of the Andala Desert speak Arabic, while others speak a language related to Old Persians. because the setting doesn't imagine a world in which the hidden world has always been hidden, nor does hidden mean disconnected or uneffected.</blockquote>
