I think the studies said that it’s less that the goats don’t understand each other and more so that they know which goats are part of their herd and which aren’t. The goats develop in-group accents together as kids, which allows them to know who is ‘one of us’ when they meet. Kind of like how you know if someone is from your country - or even which part of your country - just a few words after they open their mouth.

That's an interesting point actually... French goats are known to go "bêêêê". What's their onomatopoeia in other languages??

In America the usually you hear around goats is either "oh god it broke my leg" or "Martha your goat at EVERYTHING again"
