Llamas talk-- verbally and nonverbal.
Examples of the verbal communications are 'the hum from dam to cria'; the alarm call; the male orgling at female; clucking; and a few other sounds. Generally llamas are quiet creatures with very little noise being made.
Llamas also talk non-verbally--with their body postures; head, tail or ear positions and their actions. Following are some photos of different 'llama talking'.
And Yes, llamas do spit--with a purpose and reason See Talk-2 page.
