   Mathematics is just another human language.   
      
   A science fiction author - H Beam Piper - wrote a short story   
   "Omnilingual" that was published in 1957. I read it when it was first   
   published (while I was still at secondary school).   
      
   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omnilingual   
      
   It makes the point that any creature that puts together a periodic table   
   of the elements is going to put together the same data, and that ought   
   to be a universal Rosetta Stone.   
      
   This may be putting too much faith in the capacity of human language to   
   capture reality.
