Animal Talk	comment	In some works about Civilized Animals who can't be understood by humans, or even Nearly Normal Animals, all animals will understand each other regardless of species. If any Language Barriers do show up among animals, they will be based on culture rather than species.note In Real Life, much as with people, things like a cat's meow or a gull's cry often sound different in historically isolated populations around the globe. In real life, animals of different species do not understand each other, not even if they're closely related species like dogs and wolves. Despite the trope's name, this trope is not limited to animals that talk and also includes animals that communicate through realistic animal noises. As the name implies, Animal Talk is limited to animal life forms, and possibly animal-like microbes as well, but does not extend to sessile organisms like plants or fungi. Sometimes the major animal characters' predators and/or prey are excluded from Animal Talk to sidestep Carnivore Confusion. Sometimes the Language Barrier between humans and animals only applies one way: the animals can understand the human language, but not vice versa, like in Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron. In some other situations, very young human children can understand Animal Talk even though adults can't, meaning either that Baby Language counts as a type of "Animal", or that Animal Talk is just one of those things that's Invisible to Adults. An adult human may be able to participate in Animal Talk by being a Friend to All Living Things, speaking fluent Animal, being turned into an animal, or using Translator Microbes. Made particularly strange if the Translation Convention is in effect around humans: when perspective shifts to humans, the Real Life (and completely dissimilar) vocalizations of the species involved will be heard, but then when it switches to the perspective of said animals, everything will become intelligible with no Bilingual Dialogue problems at all, as the same language. Do all animals share some kind of crazy Common Tongue, or are all animals multilingual? In a comic Thought Bubble Speech may be used instead. Ventriloquist Animal occurs when talking animals don't move their mouths. Not to be confused with Talking Animal, where the animals actually speak and the humans understand them. See also Bilingual Animal, which can perfectly communicate with humans and animals alike. This is Level 4 on the Sliding Scale of Animal Communication.

Animal Talk / int_10ddd3d5	comment	The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess — as a wolf, Link can talk to any friendly animal, including Epona. Notable that while Link can speak to them, the animals don't understand humans. Early on in the game, if you fail to listen to a human conversation without being spotted, the humans run off, and a dog nearby remarks "Wow, you can understand human talk?"

Sometimes, the humans seem to understand the animals, sometimes they do not. Dave the octopus seems to be able to speak to humans, though it's possible he simply learned the English language, as he's shown to be a mad genius. Strangely the other octopuses just speak via bulbing, even when speaking to the penguins.

Whales might be an exception, although Dory's efforts at speaking "whale" just involved shouting slowly in a silly voice so maybe not. Jellyfish are the only animals shown not to speak, or apparently even be sentient. Animals seem to be able to understand humans, but humans perceive animals as just making their normal noises.

When the tree they're on begins shaking due to Chris (human) and Lon (his pet dog) running around it, the squirrels are hastily asking them to stop, but their protests fall onto deaf ears (Lon would likely have understood them, since he can fully understand the words of human speech despite not knowing how to talk, but he was too distracted while playing with Chris).

There are exceptions in both cases: the player character, a Draak-Kin (dragon), has trouble understanding spiders and many other arthropods, and a few No-Tails can sing, even quite fluently. The different fonts used for each species of Goodbeast seems to imply how well the player character can understand them, with fellow Draak-Kin having clear, easy-to-read fonts, cats having loopy cursive fonts that are hard to read, and so on.

In his first appearance in Moving Pictures, Gaspode (who's a Talking Animal) is clear that without his magically enhanced intelligence he wouldn't have the ability to process complex language; he can translate for another dog, but all it says is "Laddie good boy! Good boy, Laddie!" But his next appearance in Men at Arms introduces the Dog Guild, and apparently the canine language is capable of producing terrifying political speeches, and the average Ankh-Morpork stray has enough reasoning power to understand them. The Fifth Elephant reveals he can also talk to wolves, although few wolves are interested in talking to him.

Animal Talk / int_525c9c7a	comment	In the first Dinotopia book, it is explicitly stated that different genera of animals speak different languages. There is one lingua franca that is understood by a few species, including humans and Protoceratopsians. The thing is, whether you are able to understand this language or not depends seemingly on your biological classification. Fortunately, James Gurney seems to have outright dumped this in later books (exactly how it was supposed to work was never clear). One of Allan Dean Foster's Dinotopia novels had a human-and-stegosaurian nomadic community where, despite the stegosaurians and all other dinosaurs being as intelligent as humans (it's part of the setting) and the community having existed for years, the dinosaurs and humans could not understand what the other species was saying. It may or may not have been Gurney who dumped it, but the digest novels left it behind to make them easier for younger readers to comprehend.

Animal Talk / int_6ac55ec7	comment	Usually averted in Dungeons & Dragons: Played mostly straight with the Speak With Animals spell which allows the caster to communicate with any animal, but it doesn't last long and is really no more linguistically unusual than the Tongues spell, which allows speaking any language. And certain versions only function for a subset of animals. The racial spell-like ability of Gnomes only permits communication with burrowing mammals (which cuts haphazardly across taxonomic lines, explicitly including foxes but not necessarily all canids, and badgers but not all mustelids). In 5th edition, Forest Gnomes' ability has been changed to speak with small animals, which causes similar weirdness regarding exactly which animals it might work on. The animal companions of druids and rangers have no special communication abilities apart from an empathic link to their masters. A sorcerer or wizard's familiar can speak with animals and translate for its master, but the communication only works with animals of its own kind. Though certain familiars, such as ravens, can speak Common, the language of most humans. A paladin's mount, unless of a "unique" type obtained through non-core means, can magically command animals of its own kind (Which really only has any practical benefit against cavalry) , but it doesn't extend to all animals. Lycanthropes can communicate with animals in a way normal humans can't, but only with their own kind. Most versions of "polymorph other" explicitly state in the spell rules that the transformed spellcaster can't speak while in animal form, and mentions that parrots are not an exception, because they don't really speak. Rangers get the ability to speak the language of their favoured class of enemy, which usually means they can speak a specific language, such as "giant", which is used by all members of the chosen class. If they choose beasts, however, it's not made clear if that means they can now speak to all animals, even ones that don't have a listed language (as with Gnomes' ability listed above), or if they have to choose a specific language spoken only by one or two species.

No human ever speaks to animals, so it's not clear if animals can understand what they say. There is one exception: Napoleon (and pretty much the other pigs) can talk to humans, as he hired a man to serve as their adviser for trades. For sure all the animals can read human language (example: the writing on the furgoin taking Boxer the horse away). And (most of) the animals can write and read the animal manifesto on the barn wall, even if it's not necessarily in human language. The movies do this differently: the '54 film has very little speaking from either species, while the '98 version has the other farmers discovering this. The novel never really explains how this is possible, though.

This carries on to the animated series, where Jane has been taught to speak to gorillas and elephants, but she simply cannot communicate with any other non-human animal. She can hear gorillas and elephants speak English, but when Tarzan is speaking to a different animal, she only hears animal noises. Tarzan, apparently, is just multilingual.

However, at one point Timothy Mouse is able to whisper intelligibly into the ringmaster's ear as he sleeps. Either Timothy is special, animals just pretend they can't speak when humans are around (which you'd think would be an even bigger claim to fame than a flying elephant if one ever spoke up), or the fact that the man was asleep meant he only heard the mouse subconsciously.

Local creatures share a crude woodland vernacular (referred as "hedgerow talk"), but other ones have to be taught; these are represented by broken language, strong accents and unintelligibility of simple concepts such as Lapine's "silflay" or Keehaar's 'Gullish' "sea" to other species. Different rabbit populations have words and concepts for things others do not: for example, the Watership crowd has no comprehension of the "great messenger of Frith" that scattered their pursuers, but the Efrafans know it was a train.

Amphibious animals like the Kung-Fu Dugongs have a dialect that while understandable still causes some confusion, such as Soundbite thinking Raphey was a boy like her brothers. Sea animals, on the other hand, cannot be understood by the former groups, though animals that grew up alongside humans like Laboon and Megalo can eventually be translated. Sea Kings have their own tongue that only mind-readers like Apis or those who can hear the Voice of All Things can understand what they want. And finally they are the animals of Merville, who have evolved so fast that they have a language unique to other land animals. When Soundbite finally translate Boss Kabuto, Chopper says he could only understand one of the two voices coming from the super beetle.

Animal Talk / int_cfae4b52	comment	In Warriors Redux there are two tongues: Felidae (also known as "Cat's Tongue", "Double-Talk", and "Moorland") and "Fang" (also know as "Language of the Meat-eaters", "Blood-Speak", "Hunter's Tongue", and "Basic"). Felidae is both verbal and physical. The words are verbal, while the intonation and emotion come from body language. Cats who don't use body language are considered monotone, while moving only certain parts of your body is similar to an accent. Fang, in contrast, is the Common Tongue of predators. It's a limited language mainly consisting of nouns. Few Clan cats are fluent in it, while tame domestic animals have more trouble speaking Fang than feral domestic animals.

Animals such as Stanley's pets Dennis, Harry and Elsie exhibit human-like behaviors, while all others behave more like animals. Stanley's Grandma Griff also talks to the animals. Though the other characters don't seem to be incapable of understanding the animals, but the animals almost never talk in their presence and, when they do, they are either unaware it is happening or dismiss it as a dream / having not happened.

Animal Talk / int_d5ddd6c1	comment	A strange variant of this occurs in PokÃ©mon: The Series: All the different species of PokÃ©mon (usually) talk only using parts of their own names, but they can still understand every other species. Team Rocket's Meowth, who is one of the few PokÃ©mon which speak human language (he taught himself to impress a female), sometimes acts as a translator. Interestingly, the PokÃ©mon appear to understand humans easily, so much so that Meowth is never shown to speak PokÃ©mon talk even when he isn't in the company of humans. This was taken to ridiculous heights in the second movie, when Pikachu communicated with Zapdos through an arc of electricity, and Meowth was able to translate just by watching. A future episode has him saying that's impossible, so it was either later retconned or the writers made an oversight. "Island of the Giant PokÃ©mon" is the only known PokÃ©mon episode to actually provide subtitles, due to having a sub-plot that didn't involve any humans. Subtitles weren't provided in the original Japanese version of the episode, though. To make things even more confusing, an early Kanto episode had a frazzled wild Wartortle keep trying to relay something to Pikachu, but it couldn't understand what it was saying, so Pikachu sent out Squirtle to chat with the fellow. The heroes occasionally encounter PokÃ©mon who can communicate with humans through telepathy or some other form of magic or psychic power, such as a Gastly and a Lapras, and in one movie, a Lucario, but this is rare. In PokÃ©mon the Series: Sun & Moon, it is revealed that Meowth is unable to understand what Ultra Beasts are saying, which adds to their alien nature. PokÃ©mon: Secrets of the Jungle is the story about a boy named Koko who was raised by Zarude. In scenes where Koko and the Zarude are alone, they are shown speaking human language, but when they are around Ash, they speak in PokÃ©mon Speak.

The cats can only understand one or two words that the dog pack speaks (namely, "pack" and "kill"), while Midnight the badger is highly unusual for having learned to talk to cats, as well as foxes and rabbits. It's even mentioned that there are different languages among cats in different regions (Midnight can speak a couple of those others too). The Tribe of Rushing Water, for instance, speaks the same language as the Clans, but are mentioned to have a strange accent and use different idioms.

Animals apparently all have their own species-specific languages (which corresponds to the sound they usually make when they communicate) alongside the generalized language they all speak. In one episode Simba and Nala go on a trip to go to an elephants funeral. Simba isn't fluent in elephant and butchers "He had good on him" as "He had poop on him". Luckily the other elephants don't take it badly as the elephant was often poop covered and that used to make them laugh.

When Dr. Nimnul (a human) accidentally transplants himself into the body of Zipper (a fly), he can hear the Rangers speak English "because he's part bug". In one single scene of the cartoon this trope is subverted in a confusing way. A dog talks to a human, the human can understand it but since he wasn't paying attention he doesn't realize it was his dog that talked, and looks around asking "who said that?". Either animals can talk "human" but they decide not to, or this dog is a Meowth-type.
