Because I can't imagine them teaching their children how to speak? Like, can they even speak properly, or would their speech be very broken due to this?
So many questions :l
I was idly thinking about that earlier too... I was wondering if maybe part of why they're amenable to trade is so they can expose their kids to language and essentially... allow them to learn to understand others, without themselves speaking? Or would "teaching language so it can be comprehended, if not utilised" be considered an action? Perhaps younger Qestir permitted to speak so they can try it out / get used to the grammar and vocabulary by using it themself, but are expected to essentially "grow out of it" by the time they reach adolescence? Maybe they'd even position said children to be burned a few times by liars, so they understand the Qestir tradition for their own self and take it up willingly, instead of just copying the elders?
Or maybe they really can't understand language very well and that's part of why they give everyone such unimpressed looks if they try to come in talking?
SO MANY QUESTIONS. *-*
