No Yerkish Version?
Seems odd that of the available languages to read this page in, Yerkish isn't one of them. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.37.12.78 (talk) 01:02, 4 July 2016 (UTC)

Ape Users of Yerkish-lexicon
I see since 2013, this wiki has listed 3 apes as users of Yerkish, with no citation. From what I found after watching this BBC documentary series called "Brain Stories" (season 1 episode 4 https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2313753/?ref_=fn_al_tt_3) they've mentioned a Bonobo named Panbanisha. This bonobo has two relatives Kanzi (half- brother) and Nyota (her daughter)

If I am correct, the 4 apes that use Yerkish Lexicon are:
 * Panbanisha - a bonobo source: https://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/speaking-bonobo-134931541
 * Kanzi - a Bonobo - source; http://www.pigeon.psy.tufts.edu/psych26/language.htm
 * Nyota a Bonobo
 * Lana a chimpanzee additional sources here: https://www.aclweb.org/anthology/J74-3007.pdf

Additional sources for Lana in this academic paper Rumbaugh, D. M., von Glasersfeld, E., Warner, H., Pisani, P., & Gill, T. V. (1974). Lana (chimpanzee) learning language: A progress report. Brain and Language, 1(2), 205–212. doi:10.1016/0093-934x(74)90035-2
