Comprehend Speech

"You tend to learn a few things when you travel the galaxy with Qui-Gon."

- Obi-Wan Kenobi

Comprehend Speech is a Force ability that enables a Jedi to understand the spoken language of any sentient he's interacting with, though it does not necessarily allow him to speak it, merely understand the general meaning. It is possibly an extension of the Telepathy power, as Revan was described as "ripping the Rakatan language from their minds," comprehending their tongue only moments after meeting them. Obi-Wan Kenobi also demonstrated this ability on Nelvaan, able to understand and translate the speech of a Nelvaanian shaman, though some of the nuances of the speech evaded him.
