The Menk are one of two native species on the planet Valakis. They share the planet with the more advanced Valakians. The Menk are far less evolved than the Valakians, who treat them as lower individuals. However, the Valakians provide the Menk with food, clothing, and other needs.
Humanity made first contact with the Menk in 2151, when the NX class Enterprise picked up a Valakian shuttle and returned them to their homeworld, where it was discovered that a genetic disorder was slowly wiping the Valakians out. When Dr. Phlox was asked to help, he had a hunch the answer might be in the Menk's immunity to it. His thoughts were correct, but they also found that the Menk were on the verge of an evolutionary breakthrough, showing signs of increased intelligence, which might lead to them becoming the dominant species on the planet.
The universal translator was unable to translate the Menk language as of 2151, but it is safe to assume that by Federation Space time they would be understandable.
