...maybe they are in the warming up phase to you. truly it will take extra effort on your part to go out of your way to understand and communicate to your colleagues but hey you're the one having problems ,not them. the amount of effort you exert in reaching out to them (including the size of ego you carry around) will be directly proportional to the success to blend in with them.
secondly, what did you expect about the working situ here? of couse there will be a cacophony of languages--- i think all continents except antarctica are present here!!!
third, try a little humility--learn polite phrases of their languages too. am sure that will get their attention. I am actually surprised about the Keralites and Filipinos, definitely they speak English, not to you though. And the french, well uhh, they are freaking French...
last, get one of those interpreter earphones used in the UN or get an interpreter for yourself. I know 2 of the 3 languages you have to deal with! haha
