Language and meaning- Do animals have languages?

Language is a way or method for human to communicate.

 Humans have a lot language but how about the animals? According to biologist Con Slobodchikoff's “Chasing Doctor Dolittle,”  he said "animals might have languages that are designed to fit their needs, just as we humans have languages that are designed to fit ours". For examples, dog barks, cat meow, dolphins whistle and etc.They use their own "language" to communicate with the others. 

Two cheetah are "chatting".

Dog and human can get along harmonious. 

I found that it is really fun when sometimes I guess it right what my pet wants. Most of the owner will give their pets a nickname but did the animal really know that is their name? But seriously, they did. Dogs really know their names. I have four dogs and they can recognize their own name. Somehow they even know how you feel and they are trying to make us feel happy.  I believe that although animals brain is not as smart as human, but they do create their own "language".
