It's relativley easy to prove, a perfect example stated by Manker. Bees "dance" to communicate with each other, yet they have no word based language....unless you define dancing as language.

Dancing is just as valid a language as if the bee spoke and said 'Mate - there's a flower over there'

What about body language, is that not allowed either :P

Edit: Actually, you said it all. Only just realised. Language is not restricted to the spoken word.

I have a step son who is deaf, has never spoken or heard language. He was taught to communicate through sign language. He surely had thoughts before he had a language.

Or even a little baby. They communicate their wants and needs, but what of their thoughts?
