One thing I wonder about is what it would be like if dinosaurs were still around. I am aware that dinosaurs are like birds, many of them were bipedal. Dinosaurs layed eggs with brittle calcium shells and had hollow bones. They had feathers and scales on their legs, their lungs were efficient at getting oxygen and their waste was a relatively dry paste. Many physical attributes that dinosaurs had could be found in birds.
Many birds in this world are able to mimic complicated sounds like words spoken by people. Parrots can talk, so can budgies and the liar bird. Crows that are kept in captivity are known to speak and so are Ravens. If so many birds are able to imitate human speech then why not dinosaurs. There is no way to check because they are not around but I can imagine that there are a few species of dinosaurs that were able to imitate sounds that were complicated but they would have deeper voices, like Barry white or Dath Vader from star wars.
Perhaps there were dinosaurs that could talk better than parrots. Language in this world is not exclusive to humans. Dolphins and whales have complicated languages as well. Perhaps there is an undiscovered extinct animal species that could speak better than people.
Who knows.
