About English, I considered that, but the dialects and accents used by hares and moles are distinctly English. And as I said before, the animal are all different, and so their mouths and voice boxes would have evolved totally different from other species. They could not have physically spoken to each other. It would be like us trying to translate wolf howls or whale grunts. And them talk to them in their language.
