SeaWings are the only tribe that can speak Aquatic. Art by Joy Ang.

Aquatic is the language used by SeaWings to communicate underwater without going to the surface, where they cannot easily speak to one another. Instead of spoken words, Aquatic uses a series of talon gestures and the flashing of the bioluminescent stripes along the dragon's body. Because only SeaWings possess these stripes, Aquatic is not spoken by a dragon from any other tribe. Tsunami is a rare case of a SeaWing who does not understand Aquatic very well at all, courtesy of being raised in a cave by the Talons of Peace. Webs didn't teach Tsunami Aquatic because he didn't think she would escape with the other Dragonets. Riptide and Anemone taught her some aquatic when she came to the Sea Kingdom.
