Or that there even extinct, maybe there just hiding and it's all a big joke.

rob u is right, it depends what you mean by "talk" You do not need a voice box to talk. examples are braille, computer talk and sign language. I am not advocating that dinosaurs used any of these methods. Animals do `talk` to each other, we have proof of this with Whales and Dolphins. If you could see my dogs to-gether you would think the same thing, sometimes they will look at each other, from one to the other, and then suddenly all rush off in the same direction, each of them knowing exactly where they are going.There is no reason why dinosaurs could not have communicated in the same way. Yes, they had small brains, but they did not have much to use them for, the capacity was enough for their limited use.As far as a voice box is concerned or lack of it, we do not know what sort of noise they made, they must have made one, even if it was a `blowing` sound, made by using their lungs. We assume that ancient bodies worked the same way as ours do, but not necessarily, they were the "first trys" that may or may not have worked, which have been altered and `updated` as time has progressed.

Depend how you defined talk. I think ALL animals can communicate there needs just, not in words.
Did dinosaurs communicate?
Dinosaurs probably communicated both vocally and visually. The chambered headcrests on some dinosaurs such as Corythosaurus and Parasaurolophus might haved been used to amplify grunts or bellows. Defensive posturing, courtship behavior, and territory fights probably involved both vocal and visual displays. An angry Triceratops bull shaking his head at you, even silently, would have made himself very clearly understood!

One of the requirements for speech is bipedalism. A creature must stand and stay upright before the necessary vocalization tools can develop.
So, if you know of any two-legged dinosaurs, chances are they're chatting -- maybe right now, behind a big tree.

WHAT !!!!
Dinosaurs can't talk !!!!
Not only do they talk, but they sing and dance as well - check out Barney the Dinosaur. (see my link).
As for being extinct........what rubbish. Why, I have a stegosaur browsing in my garden as we speak.

Going by their cranial capacity (skull size) their brains would not have been big enough to possess the brain matter needed to provide speech.
Plus they mostly likely didn't have vocal cords complex enough.

They could they just chose not to. Although I think the last words ever spoken by one were "Ooh look, a meteorite"

Brain size.............................but the brain could have been in like the tail or something. It didn't have to be in the head.
Maybe they're actually floating in outerspace looking for a place to colonize. I smell a sitcom

It's called "Common sense".
How do you know that there isn't a flying pig above your roof right now?
