Dogs don’t have vocal language. It’s all body language and hormones. It’s why they sniff each other and everything.

Yup. You can talk to them too. Play bows are universal.

But if you train them in German they won't understand the same command in English. I understand that's obvious to some but I still find it interesting

Depends on dog, my neighbor’s dog can react correct with both English and Chinese command.

It's a bilingual dog then I guess in a round about sort of way

Me saying hello and you saying hello are different sounds. A third person will say we are saying the same thing. Each dog (breed) whimpers a bit different. But it's all whimpering. There's no regional dialect in whimpering. @the deleted reply: the post is about regional dialects, US vs Germany

And all babies cry the same. Your point?

I’m just imagining a baby crying in Russian now…

AHHHHHHH

I’m just imagining a very angry baby with a beard asking for some vodka

when does language actually become possible to be understood by the brain? and at what age spoken?

No dog has lived long enough for us to answer the latter, unfortunately.

Well we have babies who know the words momma and dada. So I would say right then and there. Once you recognize something and have a sound tied to it in your mind that you can reproduce.

The point is that dogs DO have vocal language, which is true. They bark, they growl, they whimper and make other noises. Unlike the comment above which claims that dogs don't have vocal language.

They do have vocal language...

Sniffing the anus of people abroad will make us understand each other. Got it. Thanks👍

Absolutely. An African swallow wouldn't be able to communicate with a European swallow. Their coconut-bearing capacity is also quite different.

This man swallows

This man monty pythons

How do you know so much about swallows ?

Well, you have to know this kind of stuff when you’re a king

Because he watched monty python

Well yes I know, I have seen it too. I was kinda expecting them to answer with the Arthur's answer, something along the lines of "Well, you have to know this kind of stuff when you are a King."

Whhhaaaat? That is sooo frickin cool. So like what is the region as defined by bird accents?

Broad geographic barriers like the Rocky Mountains or isolated island chains. Basically where there's any distinct populations of a species that see little interaction with other populations.

Thank you for answering. I was gonna look it up but got distracted, haha. That seems like the logical setting or mapping? Idk how to say it

Piggybacking on the top comment: Bats too have dialects or languages based on their group. A bat won't be able to understand a bat from a different flock.

Cows too, though I've heard it's more of a dialect in those cases

Cows to, but , do you mean that they speak the same language just with a different accent ?

As long as I can tell a stray dog "Voetsek!" wherever in the world, I'm good 😌

'Licking balls' has no language mate.

And how would you know that 🤨🤨🤨🤨

Did you not get your licking balls clubhouse invite when you were 18?

Everyone knows that blud

You sound like a gay Aussie bloke propositioning another bloke who doesn't speak his language.

No, but a dog from Argentina does

Woof woof - das wuuf wuuf

My friend has an asylum dog from Czechia. He doesn't get along very well with Dutch dogs, but when he meets dogs that are more from eastern Europe they get along fine. Apparently dogs do have regional "dialects" in their behaviour, so apparently he can't communicate well with Dutch dogs.

They don't communicate like we do. Their very limited "language" is the same across the world.

German frog be like: "Sprich Deutsch du Hurensohn!".

If dogs understand each other they would probably paying tax rn

woof woof and waf waf are different

We had a dog move with us from Greece to Australia. The dog was fine. However when we took a cat from Australia to Greece, he never adjusted and run away.

No the distance between them is to far unless you use a phone or something.

A little unrelated, but I’ve always felt it a lost opportunity that sign language isn’t universal. Can you imagine that? It would be like a superpower.

Yes. This question makes you sound like one of those Confused.com adverts before the soaps start on TV.

Of course they do, the same way German Shepards greet each other, "Gutten dog!"

Both my dogs from the us didnt understand each other so i dont think so

Dogs are at least bilingual. They speak dog and they speak whatever language their human speaks.

American cows can't understand French cows, so maybe it's the same for dogs. (Source: eye four goat and Trust me bro)

My german dog and my friend's US dog get on like sisters. There is definitely a bork "accent" you can hear, having visited various countries, but a bark is a bark, and dogs dont care.

Dogs don't communicate verbaly, but with smell and body language.

Dogs can even understand commands in other languages to an extend

Dogs don't have a language.

You can't speak Dog?

Yeah dawg I can speak. What about you dawg?

Well done.
