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. Their language has been referred to as simply "Yoshi".<ref>{{cite|author=NintendoAmerica|date=January 4, 2016|url=x.com/NintendoAmerica/status/684104528501837829|title=Post|publisher=X|accessdate=July 9, 2024|archive=web.archive.org/web/20160127013737/https://twitter.com/nintendoamerica/status/684104528501837829}}<br>The {{file link|NintendoAmerica New Year resolutions Mario.jpg|image}} appended to this post shows Mario's {{wp|New Year's resolution|resolutions}} for the New Year 2016, one of which is "learn to speak Yoshi".</ref>

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.
