interlocutor........

One who takes part in dialogue or conversation.

Interlocutor derives from the Latin interloqui, meaning "to speak between". Interloqui, in turn, ultimately comes from the words inter-, "between," and loqui, "to speak." Some other words that English borrowed from loqui are loquacious "talkative", circumlocution essentially, "talking around a subject", ventriloquism "talking in such a way that one's voice seems to come from someone or something else", eloquent "capable of fluent or vivid speech, and grandiloquence "extravagant or pompous speech".
