“Now nobody can say that it’s something about the vocal anatomy that keeps monkeys from being able to speak – it has to be something in the brain,” Asif Ghazanfar, a professor of psychology at Princeton University, said in a news release. “Even if this finding only applies to macaque monkeys, it would still debunk the idea that it’s the anatomy that limits speech in nonhumans.”

Finally, the researchers input Emiliano’s vocal tract configurations into a computer program that simulates vowel and consonant production given different anatomical settings. They picked a phrase that would show off a wide vowel range, “Will you marry me?” and ran it through a simulation of the monkey’s vocal tract. Compared with a human, the simulated monkey’s voice sounds flat and gravelly, but the words are clear and comprehensible. (You can listen below.)

i want it but i feel like straight people, in their infinite capacity for being wrong and self-absorbed, would misinterpret the message as “i wish you were gay so we could fuck” when i would intend it as like “my condolences on your unfortunate condition”
