[Jungles] Item - Word-of-Paradise (Patreon)

This totem is a nice roleplay-oriented one and works in any exploration context where you need to share a language. It's based on the Bird-of-Paradise (or parrots).
In addition to just being a limited-use of comprehend languages, this item also lets you record and replay other people's words. This could be a fun way to impersonate someone. While designing this, I was envisioning how in movies, people perfectly jump around an audio recording of someone to make a whole new sentence.
Amazingly, rangers, who do lots of exploration, don't have access to comprehend languages or tongues. How do they speak with different people? Also, a lot of campaign books also add sub-variants of miscellaneous languages! These never show up in common use, but I thought it'd be something interesting to take advantage of.
