Do you think language is invented? Or that it has always existed?

Yes, language existed billions of years ago, before the Big Bang. It just had to wait for people to evolve so they could use it.

Have you considered running for President of the United States? You seem intelligent enough.

Language was born and developed,

Just like people.

Never use "new age" and "scientist" in the same sentence!

There's no such thing as new-age science

"Always (like "never") is a long time! Clearly as humans evolved many hundreds of thousands of years ago, there was a period in which verbal communication was developing, and later when written communication was developing. Would you regard that period long ago as "always"?

Sorry, I did not have time to read your long spiel. But I have noticed that it includes the expression "new age scientists" - please remove the word "scientists" from that expression.

Language is jus a group of gruns & hand

gesures that us hominids use to conver ideas

towards 1 another but nothing more than tha!

I consider only need of language was to pass on the knowledge.

Its like the game in which one person says a word or sentence into the ear of the next person, and that person whisper it to the next, and it goes. In the end its totally different word or sentence altogether. This is what happens in case of language. Down the road in time, the original language end up becoming a new language or many different languages.

Of course you can't include Braille or computer code, nor text in your list. These are man-made artifices. Braille is even named for the person who invented it as a means of communication.

Anything that makes a noise through vocal chords is using a basic form of language. When a cat miaows, or a dog barks, we aren't hearing language per se, but we are recognising an attempt to draw attention for some reason. Similarly it doesn't take any pre-training to turn away from someone you want no contact with, so that's a form of silent 'language' which man has probably used from the time of cavemen.

But language in its truest form is that which humans have evolved for themselves in their various tribes. The bigger and more intelligent brain has an understanding that life is much simpler if you can communicate your needs to others. And it was and still is, a an evolvement.

Neither invented or always existed. I think it evolved as life itself evolved. Creatures with gradually bigger brains probably found out it was benificial for them to start communicate with other living beings.
