Re: If you were given a choice...

While it would be wonderful to speak all languages, I travel very little nowadays so when could I make use of it? Speaking to animals may be a mistake once we find out how frustrated, unhappy or misunderstood many of them were. Well loved cats and dogs, that would be great. but what about those animals trapped in zoos? Beasts that are hunted and lose their partners to guns? Dogs that spend all their time chained outside in kennels? I don't know if I could bear to hear them all.

English is the only language you need.

Re: If you were given a choice...

Being multilingual and struggle at times to understand various dialects spoken in a hurry, I will opt for animals, but now I'm wondering is animals will have dialects too

That’s a very insightful question. I’m seriously pondering this perspective

Or as a well-known online translation service says:

"there is more than one language in the world. And the English language
is derived from West Germanic."

Clever these computers aren't they!
