Jadzia-Dax (a Trill) became pregnant by Worf (a Klingon) on "Deep Space
Nine".

Naomi Wildman (the child born on "Voyager") was half Ktarian.

Seska (a Cardassian) gave birth to a half-Kazon child.

It's not clarified whether Dax in "The Undiscovered Country" (no species
relation to -Dax on "Deep Space Nine") is a human mutant or a human-x-alien
hybrid.

And those Progenitors looked like the humanoid form taken on by the Founders
of the Delta Quadrant when they interact with Solids.

Anything is possible in the fiction that comprises the Star Trek universe.
However, given the "fact" that humanoids (all of them?) evolved from the
same DNA being seeded by the Progenitors on their home worlds, and trying to
be rational, one might assert that they all sense the physical universe in
the same way, and so their languages reflect objects,
actions/processes/states, and modifiers ... maybe.
