Line 17:
{{examples}}
== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* Lum, Ten, and Lum's father from ''[[Urusei Yatsura]]'' speak Japanese, but Lum's mother cannot (her speech is rendered as [[Mahjong]] tiles). Rei can say just a few words, and Lum forgets Japanese for an entire episode after getting hit by a baseball.
** But... practically every alien other than Lum's mother is fluent. Benten, Oyuki, Ran, Elle, the taxi driver...
Line 45:
* Lampshaded in ''[[Keroro Gunsou]]''. Keroro and other keronians/aliens (like mois) speak pefect Japanese/English. When asked about this by Fuyuki he counters by saying that Japanese/English sounds like Keronian.
* Used in [[DearS]] when Ren learns Japanese in one night by reading a single Japanese textbook. Justified because it's a genetic trait programed into the Dears to learn languages. How this also allows her to SPEAK Japanese however is [[Voodoo Shark|never explained]]
* In ''[[The Tale of the Princess Kaguya]]'', the people from the Moon are able to communicate with people on Earth easily. Plus, Lunarians born on Earth seem to have no difficulties communicating with humans at all.
