The only way one can seriously accept your position above is by using a very
broad definition of the term "language."  Long before children learn to speak
(and before they understand other's speach) they understand the difference
between themselves and another person or thing.  They just don't yet know the
names of these separate entities.  Concepts and perceptions preceed language.
