There's a weed obsession going on... Anyway, I'm gonna take a different route as usual 
The AP is asking the wrong question. It is not so that only one slime can talk. In reality, they all talk, but the squeaky voiced slimes are speaking a language only those who truly come to understand the slime species can make sense of.
From the Book of all things Slimy and Moist, chapter III:
"To become one with the slime requires an understanding of why a slime is slimy, as well as why it is so hated in the world. At the very beginning of creation it was decided that one creature would bear the burden of being the target of constant harassing and genocide. Straws were drawn and the slime representative drew the shortest one. There was talk of cheating by the pillbugs, but no concrete evidence of these allegations was ever unearthed. From that point on, slimes would gain the ability to reprocreate at an overwhelming speed, but their skin would be made slimy so that it could never travel in great distances and would move forward at a slower pace than even the slowest of snails. This was done so that another creation of nature, man, could easily locate packs of slimes and proceed to slay them either by fist, sword, club, axe or magic. For ages it was a sport among men, later on it became a ritual of manhood to slay 1000 slimes in one day (stolen from the ninja master's trial) and at the time of writing, killing slimes is just something one does out of habit."
[... The chapter continues describing further properties of the slime ...]
From this short historic treatise on the nature of slimes, we can deduct that the only way to truly become one with the slimes and therefore, learn to speak their language, one must subject themselves to as much abuse as one can physically handle, be it physical or mental. This is also the reason of the EPIC FAIL. Dink has not yet come to terms with the hopelessness of his task of finding a speaking slime. He will continue to search and search, to complete his quest for cheese, but this will slowly but surely drive him mad. Once he has endured enough mental torture and possibly physical torture due to self mutilation, he will surely find what he is looking for: a fellow victim of creation's curse of the slimes.
Here's hoping Dink won't get slimy skin as well.
