Yoshis are capable of speaking intelligibly, as demonstrated by Yoshi in ''[[Super Mario World]]'', ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', ''[[Tetris Attack]]'', and ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', as well as other Yoshis in games like ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'', ''[[Paper Mario]]'', ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', and others. However, other games present Yoshis' speech in parentheses, such as ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'' (in which Yoshi must translate the speech of other Yoshis for Mario) and the ''[[Mario & Luigi (series)|Mario & Luigi]]'' series. Others have Yoshis only say the word "Yoshi" followed by a translation of what they are saying in parentheses, such as the ''[[Mario Baseball (series)|Mario Baseball]]'' series, ''[[Fortune Street]]'', ''[[Super Mario Party]]'', and others. The ''[[Super Mario Adventures]]'' comic jokes that Yoshis only say the word "Yoshi" to communicate.
Yoshis are capable of speaking human languages, as demonstrated by Yoshi in ''[[Super Mario World]]'', ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', and ''[[Tetris Attack]]'', as well as other Yoshis in games like ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'', ''[[Paper Mario]]'', ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', and others. However, it seems that Yoshis speaking in human language is rare, as [[Yoshi]] must translate for Mario in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'' and ''[[Mario Super Sluggers]]''.


In some games, particularly older ones, Yoshis produce a sound of two pitch-bended orchestra hits (in ''Super Mario World'', only Yoshi speaks with a text bubble, though this was changed in the ''Super Mario Advance 2'' version). In ''Yoshi's Story'' and many later games, the Yoshis are voiced by Nintendo musician [[Kazumi Totaka]], who mutters the word "Yoshi" and other unintelligible sounds, such as "blum" and "ho hup". His voice is sped up to create the baby-like, high-pitched voices of the Yoshis.
In older games (and more recent ones such as ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''), [[Yoshi]] and his friends are "voiced" by the sound of two pitch-bended orchestra hits (in ''Super Mario World'' only [[Yoshi]] speaks with a text bubble, though this was changed in the ''Super Mario Advance 2'' version). In ''Yoshi's Story'' and many later games, the Yoshis are voiced by Nintendo musician [[Kazumi Totaka]], who mutters the word "Yoshi" as well as a series of intelligible and unintelligible words, such as "Blum" and "Ho Hup". His voice is sped up to create the babylike, high-pitched voices of the Yoshis.


Although [[Baby Yoshi]]s retain their squeaky voices in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'' and ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'', their speech bubbles once again consist of the word "Yoshi" followed by a translation.
Oddly, in the ''[[Mario & Luigi (series)|Mario & Luigi]]'' series, Yoshi still speaks with ''Super Mario RPG''-style parentheses.
 
The ''[[Super Mario Adventures]]'' comic joked that Yoshis can only say the word "Yoshi".
 
Although [[Baby Yoshi]]s retain their squeaky voices in ''New Super Mario Bros. U'' and ''New Super Luigi U'', their speech bubbles once again consist of the word "Yoshi", which is translated for the player.
