Minish (Language)

The Minish Language is a strange and ancient tongue spoken only by the tiny Minish. In The Minish Cap, when Link first encounters the Minish in Minish Village, he cannot understand their language and has to visit Festari in the sanctuary in the north of the village. Festari explains that Link has to obtain and eat the Jabber Nut in the Greenhouse in the eastern part of the Village. Link can then freely speak to all Minish.

Trivia

 * The German version of the game uses actual German for the Minish language, simply written backwards. For example, one of the Minish Link meets when first arriving at the village says: "Hcsnem nie!", which is just "Ein Mensch!" (A Human) written backwards. That doesn't change the fact that Link still needs to obtain the Jabber Nut to progress in the game. The French version also uses the same technique.
