External links modified

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to one external link on Yerkish. Please take a moment to review my edit. If necessary, add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:

Added archive https://web.archive.org/20100520131446/http://www.greatapetrust.org:80/science/history-of-ape-language/interactive-lexigram/ to http://www.greatapetrust.org/science/history-of-ape-language/interactive-lexigram/

When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true to let others know.

No Yerkish Version?

Seems odd that of the available languages to read this page in, Yerkish isn't one of them. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.37.12.78 (talk) 01:02, 4 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Ape Users of Yerkish-lexicon

I see since 2013, this wiki has listed 3 apes as users of Yerkish, with no citation. From what I found after watching this BBC documentary series called "Brain Stories" (season 1 episode 4 https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2313753/?ref_=fn_al_tt_3) they've mentioned a Bonobo named Panbanisha. This bonobo has two relatives Kanzi (half- brother) and Nyota (her daughter)

If I am correct, the 4 apes that use Yerkish Lexicon are:

Panbanisha - a bonobo source: https://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/speaking-bonobo-134931541
Kanzi - a Bonobo - source; http://www.pigeon.psy.tufts.edu/psych26/language.htm
Nyota a Bonobo
Lana a chimpanzee additional sources here: https://www.aclweb.org/anthology/J74-3007.pdf

Additional sources for Lana in this academic paper Rumbaugh, D. M., von Glasersfeld, E., Warner, H., Pisani, P., & Gill, T. V. (1974). Lana (chimpanzee) learning language: A progress report. Brain and Language, 1(2), 205–212. doi:10.1016/0093-934x(74)90035-2
