Do Animal Crossing Villagers Talk?
Animal Crossing villagers do talk, but not in the classical sense, as they communicate through a unique language called Animalese, which is a synthesized voice that matches the basic sound of letters in the language being played, often leading to mispronunciation of words. The villagers’ voice will change pitch or volume depending on their mood, with sad villagers speaking in a low tone, happy ones in a higher pitched voice, and angry or annoyed villagers speaking louder.
