What Kind Of Language Will The Blue Guy Speak?

I just wonder about the dialogue they will use. Will the crew and the big blue guy sit down and have conversations in the film asking questions to each other about their origins? I wonder if Ridley will have them doing that.

I suppose it's a possibility that they would speak a language that we could understand...
I know the die hards out there would hate it if they spoke English and so would I. However, if for some reason the Sj's taught their language to ancient people, than I suppose an archeologist/linguist (ie Daniel Jackson type character..maybe Vickors) might be familiar with whatever language they might speak.
Presently, our understanding of how ancient civilizations built some of the massive structures that they did, is still only theory without solid evidence. They have not found evidence of how Stonehenge was built or the pyramids for that matter and many believe they had help( I do not presently subscribe to the ancient alien stuff). If Ridley plays into some of the "aliens" helped build humanity and gave us basics to start with(language, math, etc), I'm cool with it.
ALL generalizations are WRONG!

For quite a long time, I've had this question buzzing in the back of my mind and wasn't ready to pose it my self as the idea intrigues me. I wasn't sure where to go with it. Eventually I settled on something that unsettled even me.....I would suspect and hope that the big blue guy and his cohorts....[b]don't say a single word [i]ever[/i][/b].....imagine the magnitude of what the crew of the Prometheus is about to confront before our very eyes - the threat they meet in the person of these beings, who do the horrible, perverse things they do without ever speaking to their victims. How terrifying would that be? I imagine the horror of that encounter in the absence of a means to communicate - the cold, visceral reality of alien indifference lacking any means to attempt an understanding that itself would be unlikely were it possible.
You're about to die....the thing making it happen never speaks, even in its own language and you know...[b]you know[/b] it wouldn't matter even if it did.
The idea's truly terrifying.

@craigamore
I thought the exact same thing the second I posted my comment above - silence is scarier than any language.

@ncc1701 you're not quite correct there, everyone in star trek just sounds like they're speaking English through the universal translator!
***Spoiler***
The script that's causing so much commotion said the blue guy was telepathic, makes sense really when you think about it. Getting the blue guy to sound alien and evil and god-like would be an art form in itself, if he was speaking english.
Failing telepathy, he'll have either a German or English accent - everyone knows the evil dudes in movies are always English or German.

Well said Craig. That's pretty much how I imagined it as well. We're enemies, they have nothing to say. That's a big part of the horror in most alien themed movies. It may be cool if one communicated though just to satisfy my own need to learn more about them and what they're doing and why, but if they did it could humanize them and I like the idea of them being completely alien and terrifying to us.

In ALIEN(1979) The Nostromo crew listen to some kind of "language" from the derelict signal
