An extremely accomplished electrician told me he tends to think in pictures, which is why he feels he so good at troubleshooting electrical circuits. As a musician, I often think in terms of sounds and intervals between notes. It could be argued that musical mathematics is another form of language, I suppose.
I can recall the first time as a child that I became aware that I was thinking in sentences. Did I do so before that time? I can't really say. It seemed quite a revelation at the time, but I can't begin to pinpoint the time and date when it occurred.
