when compared to human language like English, sperm whale communication has patterns that clearly indicate it is also a language and not just rudimentary calls of "danger danger" or "come over here"

we dont have a human-whale dictionary and cant fathom even a single word but a computer analysis can be made to see if there are patterns in whale communication and they math human communication patterns

a whale brain is considerably bigger than human brain, surely they use it for something

https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/apr/15/sperm-whales-alphabet-vocalizations-similar-humans

whales diverged from human ancestors 90 million years ago when whale ancestor decided to go for a swim on the ocean, world was different back then and even dinosaurs still roamed the land

The structure of the whales' communication has "close parallels in the phonetics and phonology of human languages, suggesting independent evolution," the paper, published in the Proceedings B journal, states. Sperm whale coda vocalizations are "highly complex and represent one of the closest parallels to human phonology of any analyzed animal communication system," it added.

The new study shows that "sperm whale communication isn't just about patterns of clicks -- it involves multiple interacting layers of structure," said Mauricio Cantor, a behavioral ecologist at the Marine Mammal Institute.

A future where we're able to fully understand what the whales are saying and be able to have a conversation with them is "totally within our grasp," said Hans Gruber, founder and president of Project CETI.

Sperm whales are more intelligent than niggers

It's real, I uploaded some whale noises to chatgpt and it translated it to "niggers tongue my anus."

I always thought it was funny that we imagine we could communicate with aliens when we can't even communicate with intelligent animals on Earth.

The only way for humans to communicate with cetaceans is telepathically while under high doses of ketamine

I wonder how they'd teach their young the meaning of words in their language. As humans we learn with repeated demonstations, pointing, and all kinds of context you can't really give just by swimming and eating krill.

do you think he'll enlist the whales for his next heist?

>>533301650
I would believe this. And also that the same holds true for dolphins and other intelligent cetaceans.

>>533302906
Sperm whales eat big animals, not krill.
>>
>>533301650
I dunno about sperm whales but I recently watched a video on dolphin communication and realized their language abilities are probably about the same as a pet cat.
In the video a lady said that dolphins have a signature whistle which they use when approaching one another, they use the same sound over and over and she claimed this was the dolphin saying its name, which according to me is not how we talk at all, Dave doesn't walk up to me saying Dave, but a cat does the same meow when it walks up to me every time but I don't say that is the cat saying it's name at me with a signature meow.
I think when women get paid to play with animals they make shit up desu.
>>
>>533301650
if this was true and they are intelligent then we must mobilize the entire world's navies and destroy them to total extinction because we can't have multiple sentient species on the same planet.

time to nuke the whales.

I agree with this but i'm pretty sure animals use frequencies not syllables so its not really language...also all mammals(condylarths, aka the ancestors of whales and humans, aka cynodonts ((only surviving synapsid after the 1st mass extinction)) diverged after the astroid(2nd mass extinction) hit including the smallest snakes, lizards, dinosaurs(birds), turtles, and crocodiles. I think humans aka homo heidelbergensis are the only things that speak because our frequencies are just more complex because we combine words if that makes sense. Think of our ancestors talking to each other over the fire. Also I think because we ran so much while hunting that just forced our ancestors to learn how to track things down which isnt there which forces higher function frequencies I imagine. I'm pretty sure animals just release signals while we have crazy things like rhyming.

yes, no shit

Wow what fascinating lore you have there. What else do you believe happened millions of years ago just because they told you? Surely they know what happened even billions of years ago or what's happenining trillions of miles away on the other side of space right now. I mean, why wouldn't they? Why wouldn't someone know what happened a billion years ago? Why wouldn't someone know what happens on the other side of the universe?

Yeah, controlling their massive body.
