This first grammar of the language of animals is a thorough analysis of the way in which animals verbally communicate and why we must consider their vocalizations a genuine language. Daniel Deleanu holds, among several other degrees, a doctorate in philology with the distinction magna cum laude.

An accomplished translator, he has made new English versions for many important books, which include the Bhagavad Gita, Yoga Sutra, Shiva Samhita, Dakini Sutra, Dakini Tantra, the Mayan Paris Codex, the Gospel of Thomas, the Gospel of Abgar, Heraclitus’ philosophical fragments, Ludwig Wittgenstein’s Tractatus, Karl Marx’s Communist Manifesto, and the poetry of the likes of Sappho, Vladimir Mayakovsky, Paul Celan and Mao Zedong.
