I guess it is tolkien’s World, but honestly when I read the books (which I mostly read allegorically) I took it as Bilbo reading his intentions through the power of the ring, not necessarily speaking to him. Well, Glaurung could speak. Plus, Dragons' power to manipulate people with words seems to be common knowledge, which implies an ability to talk.
