hounds tend to forget human language after a while, in the way people can lose their first language if they don't speak it on the regular. they only need to listen to their Handler's voice, not hold a conversation, and its discouraged for them to speak like a human anyway, which has led to hounds developing their own simplistic communication method consisting of body language and barking, mostly to show dominance or submission. while it serves little use in day-to-day life, being able to read each other's intentions on the field at a glance even through layers of reinforced steel is an asset
after all, weapons have little use for language outside of communicating violence
