Animals speak human language

Chimpanzees at Georgia State University (USA) have learned the language quite successfully. It might be a card: ' Please give ice coffee ', ' I'm thinking about what I should eat '. Some cats, seals, elephants . can talk.

The chimpanzee's natural pronunciation apparatus does not allow them to speak out loud. Therefore, they must use a device called a portable synthesizer of 400 symbols. These symbols not only represent specific things like 'apple', ' rain ', ' banana ' but also represent concepts like 'good', ' bad ', ' help ', ' smoking ' .

When pressing the buttons, the chimp named Panbanisha knows how to set very good English sentences. When necessary, it is wise enough to use the ' the ', conjugate ' and ' (and) even pronouns. It can say what you like and what you don't like, but mostly what it wants. For example, one could hear the following sentence: ' Please give ice coffee '. For the question of what it is doing, chimpanzees can answer: ' I am thinking about what I should eat ' or: ' I am going there '.

For chimpanzees, human language is also a way to look at the world of mankind and understand some things in that world. And they get quite fast. Once, through a portable device, researchers told the chimpanzee to do one thing and get 'paid' . To understand this, chimpanzees do not need a day. And when I received the first 'remuneration' , the chimpanzee called an employee to come and from the portable synthesizer device to say, ' Please buy me a donut '. In the hot days, the chimpanzee revealed a new aspiration: ' I want to buy a bath '.

Biologists have discovered that in the brain of chimpanzees there is an area in charge of the language that is similar to that of humans. What the animal that is close to us doesn't have is the phonetic apparatus. To compensate for that defect, people create chimpanzees with a speech synthesis device. Chances are that gene therapy will overcome that shortcoming and the chimpanzee will speak like a human.

Not only chimpanzees can speak human language. The Guvec seal, almost since his mother's womb, lived in Boston's aquarium, knew how to welcome visitors with the words: ' How do you do!'. It pronounced the sentence in a deep, deep voice. In fact, her vocabulary is very small, but that does not prevent her from liking flowers to herself when there is no interlocutor. According to ethnic psychologists, this seal is the first mammal to speak human language.

A little while ago, there was an article about the Bat Elephant in Caragadin Zoo. One morning, she was in charge of the animal shed when she passed the elephant cage when she heard a husky voice: ' Give Batua a drink!' She looked around to see no one. She walked a few steps and heard that voice: 'Baton drink!' It turned out that the elephant himself said.

In rare cases, very rare, cats can talk. An example of a cat named Manica, who lived for a long time in the family of Goeboo, is an example. In the recent times, every morning, a woman's voice came from the hallway to wake up the whole family: ' Wake up, get up!'. In the hallway without a shadow, only a Manica cat sat on a small carpet and looked at everyone with indifference, nothing seemed to happen. Make out the words' Wake up! Wake up!' The cat was able to learn from the mother-in-law when she lived in her home. Every morning she got up early and woke her husband with the words' Wake up! Wake up!'.

Another Russian cat named ' General Donxoi ' also speaks human language. Ms. Vacvara Ivanop, its owner, recounted: 10 years ago, ' General Donxoi ' suddenly said. That time Mrs. Vacvara was about to take a year off and hurriedly put the cat in the basket to carry. My cat is in pain and doesn't like being locked up so resists. Then suddenly it pronounced quite well: 'Can it be softer?'. It said so and Mrs. Vacvara almost fainted.

O. Ðôpchencô, psychology professor of Moscow State University (MGU), who specializes in animal behavior, has been exposed for many hours to this cat and recounts: ' At first I was very skeptical of the story. About that talking cat. But now I believe that indeed the cat can speak and even to a certain extent it can communicate with humans . '

The ' language center ' is inherent in humans and chimpanzees, which may be found in cats. Birds don't have that ' center ' but still speak. Even more when he speaks clearly and " has more thoughts " of four-legged animals.

When India's first talking parrots appeared in Rome, this phenomenon surprised everyone. In the wealthy world, parrots have been taught a word that is familiar to each Roman noble: ' Caesar '.

Gradually in Europe, people forgot the talking parrot. The memory of it remains only in children's fairy tales. But in the 70s of the last century, a talking parrot was brought into Germany. For this bird, perhaps 20 centuries have not passed by. Because now the parrot can memorize not one but a dozen words. Today in memory of parrots there are up to 50-60 meaningful words. But that is for birds with medium skills. If it comes to birds with special talent, its vocabulary is up to 500-600 words.

If researchers only hope to teach chimps how to use words to communicate with each other, some birds have long been able to do that. A German researcher taught the crowbar when he heard the word ' co ' (German means ' come here ') near the window to receive food. Then, when the crow flirted with its mates, it called ' her ' to the prey, not by the conventional sound of the raven family, but by the word ' co ' learned by humans.

Another pair of crows raised in the cage next to it also started using this word in their communication. When the male crow flew out of the cage, his girlfriend, the crow, began to worry and called out "coke" until the male crow returned. The male crow also behaves like that. ' Dom, Dora, co ' - he called out and the Dora entered into the cage with it.

If the words of talking birds increase at the rate it is now, over the next 100 years, talking birds will become creatures that humans can talk about problems. different.

When television and newspapers reported on talking chimpanzees, an unprecedented excitement was raised among the defenders of animal rights. People increasingly require the dissemination of the Charter of human rights to even humanoid animals. Because they are also 'thinking creatures'.
