Animals do interact using sounds, especially the whales and dolphins. Some people believe that these animals can actually communicate.

However to talk like a human you have to have the correct type of voice box and have this supplied richly with nerves that go to a specially developed area of the brain.

It is interesting that chimps have been taught human sign language and demonstrate that they can communicate using it. This shows that they can "talk" but their larynx does not allow them to vocalise speech.
