The First Tongue or Uremehir is the language of the Hisil, which can be spoken and understood by all spirits sapient enough to comprehend speech. Uratha gain an instinctive partial understanding of the First Tongue after their First Change which they can quickly develop into full fluency, though they lack the anatomy to fully verbalise the First Tongue in any form except gauru and must use a bastardised dialect more suited to their mostly-human larynx. Human mystics and occultists can learn the First Tongue with considerable effort but can never be truely fluency without magical assistance.
