This has come up before. I say there is only human thought/intelligence going on in our heads. Language is a primitive use of a small number of sounds to express our thoughts. Our language is only in a spectrum more then animals. The difference is intelligence. Our memory organizes our language with no more effort then organizing our walking and not walking into each other.
In fact language doesn’t exist. just thoughts and sounds thereto. no different then your cat. Your cat is just dumb and has no reflective life.
they do speak less then they would however.

Byers is Exhibit A in making the case that language doesn't exist.
