Animal language

Do animals have language? Well there's an easy question. Yes, they most certainly do. They use it to confer anxiety, happiness,unhappiness and pain. The general scientific opinion that animal languages are more simpler than human languages, is contradicted by independent research into prairie dog language, which seems to show that prairie dogs have a word for almost everything, and they create new words as well. There also seems to be different dialects for different groups of prairie dogs.

I was reading something which says true dogs only have ten sounds. I myself have to contradict this theory,as I've heard my dog Toby speaking definitely more than ten sounds. They have a lot of whining and barking sounds, mixed in with growling.

Cats also have their own language. It is full of mews, hisses and purring. Hello in Cat seems to be a mew.

Horses and donkeys each have their own individual language. Horse is full of neighing, snorting and whinnying. Snorting seems to be a sign of pain, or annoyance. Neighing seems to be a sign of greeting. Whinnying might be laughter. Donkey is full of ee-ores.
