English laughs at their supposed dominance.
Math peers through a microscope and smiles at all the Earth languages. So cute.
Math isn't a language, of course. What we oft refer to as "standard notation" is, but it is as earthy as all the others.

It's reasonable to disagree, but let's not pretend that some alternative is the obvious choice.

The laws of physics as a program and math as its language is just as good as any other framing. And its a short logical hop to expect that more than one civilization would discover that language.
