So there have been a lot of reports lately about how dolphins and whales communicate in a way that is remarkably similar to human languages, suggesting they have a translatable language. They have been recorded giving names to eachother, having localized "accents" of sorts and other such things. So realistically /sci/ how long, if ever, do you think till we fully translate their language and can communicate directly to them? Also...
>Will their be any practical uses?
>What secrets will they tell?
>Will different species have different languages entirely or will there be a universal language among them all?

General discussion cuz I find the idea of actually talking with another species fascinating.
