I think it's almost definite that Dementors can understand instructions and parts of the English language. I'm not terribly sure whether they can actually "talk" as such, themselves.
Do we know if the Dementors are the only "guards" on Azkaban? Is there an unfortunate witch or wizard who has the task of ordering them about? If so this could explain how Fudge was "told" about Sirius's nighttime talking habits.

Lunch was six dollars and thirty-one cents at the Lamplighter Inn, that's on Highway Two near Lewis Fork.
That was a tuna fish sandwich on whole wheat, slice of cherry pie, and a cup of coffee.
Damn good food. Diane, if you ever get up this way that cherry pie is worth a stop.
