Do dolphins speak in hieroglyphics and could we decipher them?

Speak Dolphin
September 20, 2011

In an important breakthrough in deciphering dolphin language, researchers in Great Britain and the United States have imaged the first high definition imprints that dolphin sounds make in water.

The key to this technique is the CymaScope, a new instrument that reveals detailed structures within sounds, allowing their architecture to be studied pictorially. Using high definition audio recordings of dolphins, the research team, headed by English acoustics engineer, John Stuart Reid and Florida-based dolphin researcher, Jack Kassewitz, has been able to image, for the first time, the imprint that a dolphin sound makes in water. The resulting “CymaGlyphs,” as they have been named, are reproducible patterns that are expected to form the basis of a lexicon of dolphin language, each pattern representing a dolphin “picture word.”

Certain sounds made by dolphins have long been suspected to represent language but the complexity of the sounds has made their analysis difficult. Previous techniques, using the spectrograph, display cetacean (dolphins, whales and porpoises) sounds only as graphs of frequency and amplitude. The CymaScope captures actual sound vibrations imprinted in the dolphin’s natural environment—water, revealing the intricate visual details of dolphin sounds for the first time.

  1. Maybe HomeLand Insecurity will soon claim they are dangerous.

  2. I have heard it said that inside of a dolphins pectorial fins is a close resemblence to a human hand skeleton. They are our brothers ,like the dog capable of showing love and companionship.And look what we do to them,I hate this world,Jesus Christ is Lord ,nibirupedia.com

  3. Well that’s it.

    Now the treehuggers and the commies are going to get the idea that since dolphins are talking, that means they are “human-ish” and should be consulted in any political decisions made as to the directions taken in world politics. In a true global democracy, every living thing should be considered, so they will arrange some way of allowing the dolphins to vote for our new world leaders.

    If you think this is crazy, then you are missing a huge business opportunity. With government grants, studies can be made as to how this will be done, political action committees can be formed, congressmen can be bribed, laws can be written to support the idea and voilà, you’re rich. The TV rights alone are worth millions.

    I wonder if I could get a job with Al Gore?

  4. Animals are more intelligent than most people realize.

  5. check out the cove on netflix .. a movie about the massacre of dolphins in japan.. taiji japan to be exact.. ussually i dont engage in tree hugging… but this movie is f##*#* up…
    check it out and aware yourself of this brutal act in japan.. they actually sell “flipper” meat as other named meat as filler

    PS: I wonder what these dolphins would really have to say if we ever understand their language? (comedy).

    • I wonder what these dolphins would really have to say if we ever understand their language?

      If it’s anything profound it sure as hell won’t be shared with the serfs….

      • Military applications …

    • What would they say?

      “So long, and thanks for all the fish!”

  7. Interesting, thank you for posting this.

  8. In the first ever verbal communication between a human and a dolphin, a dolphin was asked, “what is your name?” The dolphin responded, “Joe. Joe Gunnagetthatassholeoutofofficorwewillallbedead.”

  9. Who gives a shit……

    • Defently not about you tart lol

  10. “So long, and thanks for all the fish!”

    • You mean ..”thanks for all the Toxic Fish”, don’t you? Fukishima’s poisoning our oceans at millions of gallons everyday! It’s going to catch up, soon we won’t be able to eat anything from the sea without getting sick.
