It's basically putting the species on equal ground with the Lykos Kinsman. Kinsman believe themselves to be higher species, beyond what is capable of other species such as Skakdi or Toa. Speaking their language is in this case a huge insult, and tends to start conflict.

The Lykos prefer if species speak Matoran, because most Lykos actually do know Matoran given it's 'simple' structure; and it is something which they place lower than their own tongue.
