Meaning Mnemonic

What you say between five mouths is a language. As long as there are five different people saying these same words with their five mouths, it's considered its own language.

Hints

Picture these five mouths saying the same language to each other. They can understand each other! The mouths are smiling and laughing too.

Reading Mnemonic

Another mouth joins in speaking the language, but it's green and scaled and... it's Godzilla's (ご) mouth! Godzilla speaks this language too.

Hints

Godzilla speaks a language some people understand! You wish you knew this earlier, then you might have been able to stop some of his destruction. Try to say, "Hey Godzilla, please stop destroying my city," in his language. It's a lot of growling and yelling. He doesn't seem to understand you. You better practice your pronunciation.
