Hmm…. I was asked to comment, so here are my $.02.
I also adore languages, particularly the languages that sound wonderful to the ear (i.e., French, Italian…). However, I also believe in the power of nonverbal language as well; in fact, sometimes the most powerful language a person can speak is a well-placed touch, or a perfect look. I fancy myself well-versed in written and spoken word, and have been known to be able to make my way in second and third languages, too (French, Spanish, a wee bit of German) – and yet, sometimes, words simply cannot express the true meaning of a situation, relationship, or connection point. Sometimes, the only language that *really* works is the domain of the nonverbal. And in this space, *all* creatures can play (sometimes non-human animals do this infinitely better than us bipeds).
