Can dolphins communicate with each other using a specific language?

While dolphins do not have a specific language like humans do, they have their own complex system of communication. Dolphins communicate with each other using a combination of clicks, whistles, and body movements. These sounds and gestures can convey various messages, including social interactions, mating calls, warnings, and coordination during hunting. Studies suggest that dolphins have the ability to recognize and remember specific vocalizations, indicating that they may have individual "signature whistles" to identify themselves. They also display a remarkable capacity for understanding and responding to the communication cues of their fellow dolphins. While we may not fully comprehend their language, dolphins' communication skills are undoubtedly sophisticated and well-developed within their own social groups.
