Angels-LANGUAGE OF ANGELS

Among the various religious traditions and during time periods in
which angels have been regarded as significant celestial residents, there
has often been speculation about the language angels use when speaking
with one another. As one might anticipate, in traditional Judaism
angels are said to speak Hebrew, in Islam they speak Arabic, and in
medieval Catholicism it was speculated that angels spoke Latin.
Somewhat similar notions are found elsewhere. In southern Asia,
for example, the primary script in which Sanskrit is written is called
devanagari, which means city (nagar) of the gods or angels (devas).
Few passages in Scripture refer to the life of angels, although one
passage does imply that angel are capable of communication. The
Apostle Paul, in 1 Cor. 13:1, says, “I speak with the tongues of men
and of angels.” Theologians such as St. Thomas Aquinas did not
interpret this to mean verbal communication, but rather speculated
that angels communicated by means of wordless telepathic intuition,
called “illumination.”
Aquinas further postulated that among the orders of angels there
is a distinct hierarchy of communication. Higher angels can enlighten
lower angels, however the lower orders cannot reciprocate this
enlightenment to their superiors. Lower angels can communication
telepathically, but they convey only their wishes or desires. Also,
according to the theologian, no angel can move the will of another.
