If there is another way to access thought I don't know what that would be
Conceptual. Most people only think in terms of language when going over some inner monologue because it's otherwise ridiculously inefficient. If you convert ideas to language and then back to ideas again any time you simply want to link two ideas then you're using your language centres to no good purpose. Language is brilliant for communicating with others of your society and preserving knowledge, but it's rubbish for internal access.
