 By "language" I imply a system of marks placed on
 paper that is directly translatable by the brain
 into intelligent thought.  Cipher does not fall
 into the "language" class.  Although it does
 contain intelligible information, it is not
 directly translatable by the brain.
 
 A system of encoding or enciphering would be
 highly dependent on the identification of the
 starting point for successful
 decoding/deciphering.  Language requires no such
 rule.
 
 As an example, it was common knowledge that the
 year began with Aries, so when looking at a circle
 with zodiac names evenly spaced, it does not
 matter where Aries is placed, since the mind
 already knows his is the beginning of the year and
 seeks that point.  Only if this information is
 rendered unintelligible would it be necessary to
 actually point to Aries.

 What else would it be written in, if not
 "language"?
