They're actually speaking the Covenant language (I'm unsure if they speak San'Shyuum or Sangheili dialect specifically), but it's just converted to English for our convenience. In-universe it's all Covenant language.
I'm unsure if the Arbiter knew English when he was captured alongside the Chief by the Gravemind, but it's likely that between the events of 2 and 3 he and his Elites were taught simple English to communicate.

How was keyes able to overhear the guards talking about halo then?

>>389658494
I'm 99% sure that ONI had anthropologists and biologists scattered around Covenant-invaded worlds to study the Covenant language and behaviour and therefore most high-ranking humans were able to understand Covenant.
It was in one of the Evolutions short stories I believe. I could be wrong though.

You know I never thought about it before because it doesn't matter.

He should probably have some grasp of English, but both the Covenant and the UNSC have relatively accurate translators anyhow, if I recall.

Forgot where I read it but Covenant supposedly had whole units study and learn the English language and were only allowed to speak in English or some shit. It's a pretty retarded point only added for the sake of convenience or whatever.

In those scenes it's translated for our convenience.

It's stated the Covenant translated English prior to attacking Harvest so that they could teach their officers the enemy language. Regular soldier also learned basics so they could attempt to demoralize foes.

The humans learned the Covenant language over the course of the war.

What if humanity joined the covenant?

They couldn't because the prophets realized that they were the real inheritors of the ancient tech they held sacred and thus decided to kill all humans to cover it up and keep up the charade.

>aliens
>they speak near perfect English in a Russian accent
Please keep doing this.

The USA had a similar thing in the Cold War, only with fighter pilots who flew as the Russians in war games

>>389662662
The Great Schism would have happened a lot earlier, as fast as the Prophets realize they weren't the reclaimers all along.

imagine getting a blowjob from a elite haha
