Re: Book club - November discussion for Watership Down!!!

It says in the book that Hazel, for instance, spoke to Kehaar in 'hedgerow patios' - basically a language all the animals shared that made them able to speak to one another, or at least to get basic ideas and information across. He used it with the mouse he saved, as well (Adams said 'there is a very simple, limited lingua frnca of the hedgerow and woodland').

So not two languages at all times, just when speaking to animals that didn't speak lapine. I would imagine, in Adams' world, the mice, and birds and foxes and etc. all have their own language; a lot like the diverse languages of Africa, and many people use Swahili to converse across that language barrier.
