Of all the possible druid companions (that I am aware of), the sapling Treant is the only creature that has its own unique language that PCs can take. Hence, does it speak Treant inherently? I cannot find where it says so. I don't want to just assume without feedback from fellow gamers.
My argument:
The druid can't take Wolf as a language to speak to wolves.
The druid can't take Horse as a language to speak to horses.
They either teach these animals to perform certain actions via a command word or two from the common tongue (Handle Animal), or they cast speak with animals and discuss economics, religion, and baseball in the animal's language.
But, they can take Treant to speak with Treants.
Please note that the Raven familiar can speak Common, so my question is not without precedent.
First, the note about ravens at the end of your post....
Lots of familiars have languages of their own. Imps, Angels, Dragons, elementals, all have their own languages. But familiars are different from AC.
The sapling treat is listed as having a 2 INT. This is animal level intelligence, and incapable of language which requires at least a 3.
However, if you used an ability increase to up INT, then it should obtain a language and Treant would be appropriate.
Well he don't know talkin' good like me and you, so his vocabulistics is limited to "I" and "am" and "Groot," exclusively in that order.
