Learn English: Whale Songs and Human Speech: A Shared Pattern (hard)

Humpback whale songs, surprisingly, share a structural pattern with human languages.

This pattern, known as Zipf's law, dictates that the most frequent words or sounds are used far more often than others.

Scientists discovered this similarity by analyzing the frequency of sounds in whale songs across populations.

While not equivalent to human language, this finding suggests shared principles in complex vocal communication.
