No, I don't think "jimpe" has any connection with the language used to
express something. At least as defined, "jimpe" is about understanding
facts (presumably in a languege that the jimpe has command of) not
about understanding people or languages or sentences. Of course
everybody uses it more or less in the broader sense of English
"understand", not in the restricted sense of "understad that xxx is
true".
