In the World Cup in Germany they made sure that all 4 officials who were involved in each match were from the same country. So for example if the ref was from Chile than Linesmen and the 4th official would also be officials from Chile. I think it also depends on which country is playing and what Language the ref speaks when it comes to what language the ref speaks to the players. Obviously every game would be different.

Gestures and whistling fully cover referee's signals. He doesn't need to speak and I guess I doesn't have to speak.
Besides standard signal, I often saw referees gesture to explain a controversial decision (i.e. gesturing a dive, an arm to mean the player had touch the ball, the box line to mean a foul was out of the box). It seems enough...
Someone think team Captain is allowed to speak the ref, but it's false.
"It is a common misconception that the captain has some sort of special status in the Laws of the Game. This is untrue: the only official function is to participate in the coin toss prior to kick-off (for choice of ends and to determine who kicks off first) and prior to a penalty shootout.
Referees will sometimes talk to the captain of a side about the side's general behaviour, but this varies depending on the officiating style of the referee."

French is an official language in FIFA' s governing body located in Zurich. Probably english too but I haven't read it yet, I wouldn't see why not.
As an example, I can't imagine an Argentine referee not being allowed to address a Mexican player in spanish.
I couldn't find any guidelines to be followed, I guess the WC is too international to have any limitations in that matter, as there shouldn't be any.

they use a language with there heads
one headbutt to the sternum is a redcard
two is a yellow card
five is a foul
that would be a good idea cuz it would teach players not to foul

i think the refs are from whatever teams are playing. and when they don't understand the players, they just have to do their best with hand motions and stuff. that is also a reason why they invented yellow and red cards.
