They have their own, but most instances where we've had complex conversations has been using a language we invented and taught them. They modified it on the fly, slightly changing words we came up with for reasons we don't understand, perhaps they're easier to pronounce that way.

Their natural language in the wild appears to involve sending picture information to one another via sonar. They can reproduce echolocation images of places, objects and other dolphins, and broadcast that image towards another dolphin, who interprets in the same way they would the legitimate echo image from that place/object/dolphin.

Our way of communicating must seem very blunt and strange to them.
