Balin mentions that he could understand the speech of Ravens. The Thrush flies off and returns with a Raven named Roac. He is such an intelligent old bird he speaks in the Common tongue and we never find out if the dwarves can understand Raven speech.

What are wargs in Chapter 6 of The Hobbit?
A warg as refered to in The Hobbit is a particularly evil type of wolf. Wargs and goblins often help each other with wicked deeds.Wargs, especially those of the Hobbit, were known to speak in their own language, and so they were sentient beasts, like the crow Roac and the Thrush. There is not too much description about the Wargs in Tolkien's works besides the fact that they were like wolves (often called by that name as well). However, it is interesting to note that a spell Gandalf one time uses in LOTR, when translated, calls the attacking Wargs "ngaurhoth" (werewolves). Thus, it is possible that the Wargs of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings were the werewolves referred to in Tolkien's Silmarillion.
