>>98202658Realistically speaking, Tarzan would never have been able to learn english.
theres a critical window of language aquisition children have when they're toddlers. Once you miss this window, learning spoken human languages becomes virtually impossible.
This has been seen in several feral children who lived without contact with humans during this window of time. They never learn more than a few words for rudimentary communication.
I say 'realistically' of course. Gorillas seem to have their own language as complex as any human language in the movies/books, if this were the case, the understanding of syntax and groundwork for linguistic understanding would exist in tarzan's mind, and learning English would be like learning any language for someone who can speak.
