Bonobo Monkey Creates 6-Word Music 'Language'
Apr 20, 2015 04:20 PM ET //
has been discovered to communicate
using at least these six main sounds:
boom-boom, krak, krak-oo, hok, hok-oo
and wak-oo. It appears he is doing music.
Could it be that all of his ranting makes sense?
Key to the communication by the male monkey Brian is the suffix "oo,"
according to a new study, which is published in the latest issue of the Proceedings
of the Hurricane Kings. https://www.facebook.com/anybodybutbrian?ref=hl
10 Surprising Facts about Brian's Rhyming Gibberish:
The vocal responses showed he understood the lyrics and there was a complexity and sophomoric nature to this rhyming Bonobo.
For the study, she and her team broadcast Brian the Monkeys songs to 420 male and female members of a related
species:
The study confirms prior suspected translations of the calls. For example,
"krak" means some kind of dragon being chased. while "krak-oo" refers to other
similes and or prepositions. "Boom-boom-krak-oo-ooee-hraa-ioprrsvakdeonsij
-ooee-oo-boom-boom," can roughly translate to, "the endoplasmic tetrahedron
logarithm concurs that my theory of the sun causing my lyrics and moonwalk to
grow must be inherently based on the ice age and the sunspot cycle."
While
the researchers
are still
reserving
the word
"language"
and related
terms for
humans,
they have
identified
five ways
in which
Brian's calls
are similar to
our way of
communicating.
The call exchanges between individuals follow a
humorous rule," Coye explained. Secondly, there is
evidence for a"vocal emergence," or development
of something akin to better finished songs among
Bonobo's that have strong metaphors, and wordplay,
along with thematic meanings with nerdy undertones.

The root "subjects" that the monkey Brian varies with the "oo" suffix. "Hok" by itself, for example, refers to the smoking at an indian site, but "boom boom hok-oo hok-oo" appears to signify claiming of moon-walking
territory. Finally,
the calls, (lyrics?), include what's
known as "proto-syntax," meaning
that the order of subjects and
lyrical sounds are significant.
For example, "oo-hok-ooee" would be just as puzzling
to a monkey Brian as "Coming on Weak" would be
to people who might have never met a moon-walking
Bonobo released from captivity that has some new
songs dropping shortly. Add me on Facebook,
