Most thoughts are in a language. There is no one underlying universal machine language for the brain.

Are most thoughts in language? This doesn’t reflect my experience. Language floats on top, but there is layers under there. You can also feel it when you end up thinking in another language. It does not go through the first one but is a thing of it’s own.

Pretty sure there is nothing universal there though as you say.

What about blind deaf people, do they think in a language?
