 * "''Originally, Gonakru (the warriors in Grounder society) also used modern English in dealing with Mount Weather over the years. Since then, English fluency has spread, so most Grounders are bilingual.'" -[ source ]

Sounds like a retcon. And while it explains why all grounders know English out of a sudden (which is convenient for us), I am not sure it make any more sense. Why would people, most of who don't know to read and write, learn a secondary language whose only benefit is for communicating with the people isolated in MW..
