Dr. Dolittle Resources
I once saw a diagram of a group of European dogs greeting one another, the French Poodle saying “ouah” to the German Shepard, who responded “wau,” triggering the Puli to say “vau,” etc. The idea that animals were also affected by the curse of Babel was a source of some amusement to me at the time. In case you’re going overseas, this online animal dictionary offers a way for you to talk to the animals. No giant Luna Moth, though, and no Pushmi-Pullyu.
