Science thinks dogs can talk like humans

What if the prospect of dogs could use human language to communicate

What if the prospect of dogs who could use human language to communicate "divinely" became a reality?

The world of animals always has so many strange things. Animals also have abilities that make us surprised and surprised.

So have you ever heard a dog say "I love you" to your boss? Mishka is the strange dog.

This dog emerged as a phenomenon with videos recorded by his employer.

In addition to "I love you" , Mishka can also say "Hello", "How are you?" and even name the US President "Obama". Let's watch this "speak human " clip of this Mishka.


When his owner said "I love you" - the dog Mishka also replied "I love you" to them.

Why does that dog have such a special ability?

Historically, scientific discoveries have focused on studying the language formation on monkeys - the ancestors of humans that have not been tested on other animals. Typically, the Koko monkey is known for its ability to voice commands.

Marcus Perlman, a scientist who specializes in Koko research, was also attracted to the clip posted on YouTube about Mishka. He said that when the animal's larynx is wider than usual, sounds like human voices will appear.

Due to the structure of the throat and the oral cavity of animals, many vowels are able to match the consonants that make up a meaningful word.

Rob Shumaker, Perlman's partner in the Koko project, was impressed by the video about the talking dog. He wondered if these expressions had anything to do with the origins of language formation in humans.

Dogs express emotions through changing the sound tones they emit.

From another point of view, Mishka's response to his employer is in fact imitating this dog. This action is extremely lovely but the dog is not aware of his cries.

Dr. Gary Lucas from Indiana University says dogs express emotions through changing the sound tones they emit. They can imitate correctly because they are able to detect differences in human voices.

Hopefully, one day, science will bring us more convincing and attractive explanations about the language ability of animals.
