Two comments on your last sentence above:
{teywI'} is listed in KGT as "file". However, this doesn't refer to a
computer file. It's a file such as a sculptor uses on rock. It comes from
the word {tey} ("scrape"), so {teywI'} is literally "scraper".
Also, you used {chaH} ("they (capable of speech)") to refer to the sound
files. Since the sound files aren't really using speech (they're just a
recording of a sound), then you would use {bIH} ("they (incapable of
speech")) to refer to them.

Don't forget that when the subject of a verb is "I" plus someone else, you
need to use a verb prefix that indicates the subject is "we". Since You and
Holtej speak languages, you would use the prefix {DI-} ("we - them").

different languages,..."
