Yerkish is an artificial language developed for use by non-human primates. It employs a keyboard whose keys contain lexigrams symbols corresponding to objects or ideas.A lexigram represents a word but is not necessarily indicative of the object referenced by the word. Lexigrams were notably used by the Georgia State University Language Research Center to communicate with bonobos and chimpanzees.
