Scientists discover sperm whale phonetic alphabet'
Briefly

Research revealed sperm whales use clicks akin to Morse code as basic language blocks, pointing towards parallels with human words and phrases.
Study shows sperm whales' calls are more expressive than previously thought, suggesting a sophisticated form of communication similar to human language.
Scientists aim to decode the meaning of sperm whale communication alongside their behavioral context, using a phonetic alphabet-like system discovered in their clicks.
Project CETI created a vast underwater recording setup to capture whale calls, identifying basic components of a phonetic alphabet in over 8,700 sperm whale snippets.
