Is the language of a dog or cow of one region different from that of in another region?

Question

Is the language of a dog or cow of one region different from that of in another region?

Answer 1

No, just the accent.

Answer 2

Dogs don't have a "language" as such. A bark is just a signal to get another dog to pay attention to something (like the barking dog's body language, which is much more expressive than the bark itself).

However, dogs DO apparently pick up an "accent" from their owners:

Answer 3

DOG OR COE JUST BELONG TO VARIOUS SPECIES. LIKE HUMAN THEY DONT HAVE DIFFERENT REGIONAL LANGUAGES. THEY ALL BARK.

Answer 4

No, they have uniform language. Really speaking the animals donot have a language as defined as human language.  The voice created by them is just the signal of their feelings like fright, joy etc.

Answer 5

No. See, dogs don't have a set language which would say 'Hey, get out of here, stranger!' But they do have an aggressive bark, just like people have an aggressive tone of voice. You could probably guess a person's mood, or even the message, just by the tone of voice, even if they were speaking a language unfamiliar to you. It's the same with dogs. Other dogs can hear and recognize that aggressive bark, and get the message.

They have all sorts of barks that have different meanings; they are happy and playing, they are alarmed, they found something interesting, they are hungry and want to eat, etc. Then there are instinctual body language signs that they give to each other (eg 'I'm the alpha male,' 'I'm not, so I'll behave submissively,' etc.), just like there are certain body language traits that humans have.

For example: say you saw someone run in with a panicked look and were waving their arms in the air. You'd probably pick up that something is wrong. Or, say, someone can't look you in the eye and can't speak to you above a whisper. You'd probably pick up that they are shy.

So, you see? With dogs, it isn't so much about 'language' as it is communicating basic messages.
