Sperm Whale Communication Shows Vowel-Like Structures, AI Analysis Reveals
Researchers studying sperm whales in the Caribbean have identified a human-like feature in their communication. Using AI, scientists analyzed whale clicks, known as 'codas,' and found patterns analogous to vowels in human languages. These codas, produced by female sperm whales, exhibit spectral information similar to human formants, which determine vowel sounds. This suggests a complex communication system in sperm whales, potentially mirroring aspects of human linguistic structures.
