Pandaren is the language of the pandaren race.[1]
"Old tongue"
An "old tongue", the "language of emperors and scholars" that common pandaren can no longer speak or understand, is mentioned by Lorewalker Amai at the Wandering Isle. Lorewalker Ruolin sings a song in it, telling a story about Liu Lang and his adventures on the back of Shen-zin Su. Presumably the modern pandaren language evolved from this "old tongue", but it is different enough that pandaren children who listened to the song could not understand any of the words. With this language being younger than the Wandering Isle, it can be seen as strange how Pandaria pandaren and Wandering Isle pandaren speak the same Pandaren language today.

Mists of Pandaria
Although pandaren will be capable of speaking their own language, cross-faction communication will not be allowed.

This isn't very related, nor is it a way of properly compensating for that communication limitation, but one thing we'd like to do (we think is cool and warranted) is make a unique place in the world exclusive to monks -- think Moonglade for druids.
