According to a Wired Article, scientists are attempting to develope a common language for humans to use in communicating with dolphins. This sound-based language will likely be examined as closely as the sign-language that are used with our simian cousins... although, from the statements in the article researches don't expect it to ever reach that level of sophistication.

First communications with the dolphins went like this:

.-- . / .-- .- -. - / -- --- .-. . / ..-. .. ... ....

Well, what did you expect them to say? "Where's the remote?" :)

"So long, and thanks for all the fish"?

But to use the remote, don't they need opposable thumbs? :)
