It's supposedly an empathy or social skills thing people develop innately. You may notice yourself just instinctively "dumbing down" your English or whatever language you're speaking when you run into someone who speaks it poorly, for example. Same phenomenon. We subtly mimic people sometimes, without even realizing it. It does, even if they're not aware of it, make people more comfortable when speaking to you or just at least makes it easier to understand one another.
