Really, can any monster speak? Specifically though, I'm curious about Wraiths. I read somewhere that Wraiths speak Common and Infernal, but how could they speak? It's not like they have mouths...right?
Wraiths speak the languages they knew in life. If they weren’t able to speak, the stat block would say “understands but cannot speak.” They’re undead, they don’t need mouths, it’s magic.
[EDIT] For an example of undead that cannot speak, look at the zombie.

A great source for new DMs like me!
