Just had a weird thought. Do Lugnicans speak English with a different alphabet, or did all the Earthlings just get handed the ability to speak and understand their language when they went through the proverbial rabbit hole and just don't realize they're speaking it? Would explain why characters like Aya who come from non-Anglo countries can actually communicate with others. Also might lead to a few funny moments wherein characters actually start speaking in English to each other and the locals are just left staring at them wondering what the fuck this bizarre gibberish thing they're doing with their tongue is.
