When we are exposed to a new language, it sounds all gibberish and it begins to acquire meaning and intelligibility only after a period of time. The birds and animals around us which chirp and chatter do sound the same to us. When we mark the sound they produce intently, it seems that they are in a mode of perpetual communication. Now the question is: Do birds and animals speak their own language or is it a wasted effort to equate the noises they make with human speech?

Birds and animals have their own languages for communication too. With us, their sound is quite noisy, and i think they may think like that when hearing our talking also...

Birds and animals hearing what we talk....looks like i heard Korean in the beginning time also. I could not understand at all and just feel noisy. But after studying, i love to hear Korean talking...We can teach Birds and animals to understand our simple language, but sure they cant speak much like us.

I must say it is very difficult for me to answer a question like this. This is because I am not a biologist or at least a person who knows in detail the animal species. But according to my point of view, I believe that animals, although they belong to different species, they manage somehow to communicate with each other with sounds. Maybe every single sound, has a particular meaning. For example, a frequency may signal an imminent danger. etc..

Speech can solve everything. Problems at home, school, and community can only be solved through communication and that is speaking. There is so much to be done in speaking; it can make news go round. Without speech, there would never be an understanding and peace. Just imagine a person with no mouth.
