Relevant study of prairie dog language: https://animalstudies.org.au/archives/8211 https://animalstudies.org.au/archives/8211 It amuses me greatly how resistant many people are to the notion that animals who clearly communicate with each other might have something akin to "language". Or for that matter, how plants who exchange myriad signals to each other might be "communicating". Or for that matter how plants who send electrical signals between distant parts of their bodies might have something akin to a "neural network". https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8331040/ https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8331040/ Like most arguments it's an argument about the definition of the word. And many seem to define anything related to intelligence and communication as only applying to humans. And maybe dogs. And maybe to a lesser extent cats. And maybe certain parrots. Maybe dolphins.
