ThinkerThunker writes “If it looks like a language and sounds like a language …the only logical answer is that it IS a language. But what’s odd, bizarre, confounding and maybe even a little troubling about the “British Columbia Bigfoot howl” is the idea that there’s a race of big, furry Giants out there communicating in a language that’s spoken so incredibly fast that to our human ears it just sounds like a dog howl.”

I have been saying this for over a decade. As soon as i was told by people that when they were screamed at it sounded like many sounds combined in all octaves.
I have always maintained that these “short” sounds and longer “howls” they are making are conveying a shit ton more information than we are aware of.
To us it is a loud yell… they are hearing their own language and words in specific orders and in sentence form. They are communicating complex ideas, thoughts and facts between themselves… we just cannot decipher it.
Yes it is a language and I have always used the same example to demonstrate that.. cetaceans, we KNOW they are communicating, they are not just making noise to do it.. yet we do not understand their language.

Bill F I tend to agree – what don’t know what we don’t know.

I believe the Sierra Sounds and other recordings absolutely do demonstrate that Sasquatch have a language. I was a linguist, analyst, and cryptanalyst in the service. It’d be fun to be able to learn it, but the thought of attempting total immersion language learning with a tribe of Sas is not my idea of fun, lol…

Thanks Wes and TT !
Maybe TT can find a slice of a howl and chatter that match when compared with multiple recordings, i.e. maybe a slice of the Ohio howl matches identically the frequency and tone in a slice from the Sierra Sounds, and maybe the slices are both in the same position, such as slice #5, etc. That would be a daunting task but could prove language if there were several matching sets/slices. Amazing.

Thank you for your breakdown!
