Universal Languages and the Image of God

Language is an incredible phenomenon. It can change over time, be lost to time. It was cursed to be separated once. That curse was reversed at least once, on the day of Pentecost. Were there any kind of languages that *weren't* separated and effected by Babel? Perhaps...

Mathematics. Music. Symbols. Affections. 

These are things that we can all experience and understand. Some of them without any articulate knowledge of verbal language at all. 

Does a newborn need to be told what the embrace of a mother "means?"

Does an infant need to be taught to cry at the swelling sound of a beautiful violin?

Can the same math problem be represented in all languages without loss of accuracy?

How uncanny is it that we would have these universals, but what does it mean???
