The Arkonian language was spoken by Arkonians.
While Commander Charles Tucker III of Enterprise NX-01 was marooned on a moon with an Arkonian named Zho'Kaan, Tucker managed to pick up approximately a dozen words of Zho'Kaan's language. At one time, Tucker acknowledged about the words he learned, "A couple of them are real tongue-twisters." The Arkonian, in turn, managed to pick up several words of Tucker's native English.
A gesture of two sidewards shakes of the head signified "yes", much as a nod does for Humans. (ENT: "Dawn")
