I would expect the vast majority of their comms to be :

Nice water over here

Loads of food here

I'm down to F, anyone else?

Do we really have any evidence that suggests it'll be anything else?

The best example I know offhand is the custom hunting styles of different orca pods. Given that orcas also play I find it more likely that there is rich communication than not.

Orcas are mostly silent, especially when hunting, iirc.

Actually no, orcas echolocate a lot and also exchange quite a few calls while hunting fish (based on acoustic tag data).
