It wasn't strange. I just didn't take the time. Chimps do use language and they (along with gorillas) can be taught sign language. As titmowse said, hit the Goodall literature. Also De Waals.

I was almost certain the recent studies indicated the opposite with regard to sign language.
With regard to language, you and I can't make heads or tales out of screaming they produce as a viable language for them. It's communication, but I wouldn't go as far as language.
