I agree, because dolphins are very smart and I believe that they have a complex language of clicks and others although probably not as complex as human languages. That being said, I wonder if dolphins from different regions would have different clicks and etc for different things. |

I know I'm not contributing to this much, but if this is legit, it's fascinating. I can't fully grasp giving something a name with whatever noises dolphins make or whatever means of communication they have to their disposal. It's crazy.

I really wonder if chimps can do the same.

No, chimps have a comparatively rudimentary vocalization but they do rely a lot on facial expressions.
In terms of actual language I believe dolphins, notably bottlenose and orca, are the only besides homo sapiens and probably the extinct homo Neanderthal to have achieved it.
The moment I first saw the coordinated and synchronized creation of a seal-taking wave by orcas I realized that these animals actually talk to each other in the full sense of the word.
