While I didn't think it was extraordinary, Damocles is about making first contact with an alien species and having to overcome the language barrier (and more) as told from both the point of view of the humans and the aliens.
Okay, this is a bit of a pet peeve for me; please excuse me. The idea that humans originated occurred on another planet is implausible. This idea might have sold back in the Golden Age of science fiction, but based on the current state of science, it's naive.
Aliens could have visited us at sometime in the past, and perhaps kidnapped our ancestors & ported them off-world. Damocles by SG Redling.
Or they might have messed with our ancestor's genes here on Earth The Atlantis Gene by AG Riddle.
But we didn't evolve on another planet. We are too similar to our closest relatives, and the fossil and genetic evidence of our Earth origins is too overwhelming to suggest xenogenetic origins.
