Actually, that is one of Monster Hunter: World's Felyne clans. Each area in the game has some sort of Felyne clan that our Palico can talk to. By letting our Palico talk to one of those clans, they are able to learn a bit of the monster language and befriend some small monsters like Jagras for example.

So far, the only clan we know of is the Grimalkynes.
