Plus even then she wasn't completely human. He doesn't lose his ability to speak the team just went over there budget  so they make him buzz instead plus his buzzing is understood by fish face  Maybe he didn't nessarsarily lose the ability to speak. Since he was mutated with a fly, he could have the ability to speak in fly as well as the ability to speak in human. Perhaps this certain mutation allowed him the correct mix of vocal cords to speak in both 'languages', and he just switches between the two ocassionally since he can speak fluently in both. (my french teacher does this quite often)

As for how Fishface can understand him...maybe animals can understand each other? I dunno. XD Ok that just raises the question of why would he speak fly-ish? I could understand if it was during a fight and it was a coded message (which it wasn't) but with just Fishface around? There's no different fly language they simply went over there budjet so they had to cut phil lamars lines. Maybe he just felt like speaking in fly-ish? XD I mean, if I could speak in French fluently and I was around someone who understood French, I might use it just because it sounds cool.

And them going over budget is probably the real reason, but if we're talking about what the reason inside of the show is, not outside of it, then there could be a different fly language. Because in-universe, I'm pretty sure Baxter himself wasn't speaking in fly because he didn't have enough money to talk. XD
