Don't be sorry, comrade! It's an interesting perspective, and I agree with you. We don't usually think of languages that way (well, at least I don't), but it's a valid and valuable approach.
Thanks comrade. Language philosophy is why I got into reading in depth books. The national question arises reallllly quickly once you try to understand this whole amazing tapestry of speech and writing around the world. And communism follows quickly to provide a framework for analysis and answers.
Sorry that rant got off topic but I still want to leave it
