...then you might like Heterogenia Linguistic: Ishuzoku Gengogaku Nyuumon add

Both of them have a similar underlying theme of "the power of language" and the difficulties brought by not speaking the other's language. Altough it is a much more prominent theme in Heterogenia Linguistic, as well as it being the central theme of it, it is still also heavily present in Doubutsu no Kuni's earlier chapters. Doubutsu no Kuni puts its empashis on society as a whole, applying human behaviour into the animalistic rules of nature, and how being able to understand other animals affects life together by introducing empathy through understanding. As Heterogenia Linguistic focus more on the cultural differences that come together with a foreign language, as well as showing the difficulties to adapt; shown in a very creative way through chapters as diary entries of a journey to understanding a new languange. Both of them have comedy elements present in them, but I'd consider Doubutsu no Kuni more comedic.
