Why computers don't have language.

 This is a small view of mine.


Can you have 2 entities such that there is no common feature between them? No, impossible. Because both of them will be things. This is the inherent similarity between things, associated with the phenomenon of existence itself - that which exists will be a thing and that will be the similar, common feature to anything that exists.
Now, the way I experience / perceive / deal with /...something in the universe decides my (Linguistic) naming of it. So I can call anything as a thing because there is similarity in my experience of those “anythings”. What is that similarity? The very (possible) phenomenon of mental representation of anything, is itself the commonality/similarity among the various things that exist in the universe. Plus there is similarity in some aspects of all those particular mental representations themselves.
Hence, the fact that I have a commonality in the mental representations of everything that exists in this universe, is the primary enabler/source/facilitator of ‘language’. That is why something like ‘language’ is possible.
Hence, language is impossible without a MENTAL representation. So for computers to have language, we need to first give them requisite “mental” features.
