Humans are related to apes of course, but...?

Project Nim was an attempt to teach a chimp language.

After the study concluded, there were reams of data that had yet to be analyzed. During the study, the general feeling was that Nim was in fact learning language. But Herbert Terrace came out with the bombshell findings that Nim never actually demonstrated the ability to use true language, instead arguing that he learned that certain arbitrary signs resulted in rewards, but never figured out the grammar necessary for calling it language.

No. All human dialects are fully formed languages with definite syntax; no ape has demonstrated the ability to incorporate syntax into their communications. The source has a selection of the vocabulary of probably the most prolific human-communicating apes, Koko the gorilla. How would anybody translate either your question or any of the answers into Koko's language, which is almost entirely nouns and verbs?

I would be impressed indeed if any ape expressed "Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul, and sings the tune without the words and never stops at all...." Yet that can be translated into most, if not all, human languages.

They understand human language and can use sign language. They have then taught other chimps sign language. They're biologically incapable of making the same articulated human sounds by speaking because their larynx is in the wrong position. They can be coached to say one or two short words. It's a hardware problem, not a software problem, if you get what I mean.

Parrots with the ability to mimic can understand human language and concepts, c/o Alex. They're not just "mimicking." If you want an animal to talk back to you, try an African Grey.

Chimps raised in captivity are able to learn many words so yes they would learn "dialects".

Well I am certainly not related to an ape.
