"Language" is, ultimately, a Human exclusive concept because the concept of "language" will always be made to fit Human communication and Human communication only. And, to be fair, Humans have a lot more to talk about than Dolphins; but at the same time if we ever met an intelligent alien species they likely wouldn't meet the definition of 'language' without some serious coincidences.

I could defeat a dolphin in a rap battle. Even when we figure out how to translate their shit properly I reckon I could spit more dope bars than a fucking fish.

it's probably fragmented among tribes the same as human language was, each group has its own dialect. They do name their babies, and they call out their own names when they hear another group, like "Hey who are you, this is Frank"

You can't look at their brains and not notice it makes a human brain look like a dog brain. They damn well have language, and they are probably better at learning each other's languages than we are.

The complexity of dolphin brains is deceptive. They operate in a 3D environment across vast distances with little in the way of landmarks, which surprise surprise leads to a different kind of brain. The fact is that Humans have a civilization and dolphins don't.

Except that birds have language and will communicate calls, threats, food etc in their own local dialects. English lacks the word for a specific language, in spanish we would call them Lengua or Idioma, and reserve lenguaje for communication in general.

Well in English it's the reverse. "Language" refers to something with formalized rules and grammar, communication would be any social interaction that creates meaning.

>birds have language
Can they communicate abstract concepts? Can they communicate about past and present events? Can they string words together to create sentences? If not, then they don't have a language.

No fire underwater and no opposable thumbs.
How would *you* create a civilization in those circumstances?

In the real world, it is well known that on ships with crew from all over the world, a specific creole will arise that enables people to udnerstand each other but will never ever be formalized or even have rules. When they move to the next ship the creole will be different again.

Of course, even negroids have something that resembles a spoken language.

Of course they can do it. That is how crows know who is the enemy.

They don't need a civilization though. They don't need shelter or farms when the sea has all they need.
