Reminds me of something I heard on a nature show I once watched:
The people of Borneo believe that orangutans can speak just as well as humans. They're just smart enough to shut up since they know that if they did, they would just be made to work.
(If this is even an actual story from Borneo it is probably more of a dark joke about forced labour under colonialism than an actual belief)
