    I think morse code is not another language, it is a different way of creating the letters of our language. Much like shorthand and (I presume) brail.

    Would fully binary communication even count as a language, or would it be more like direct communication of computer brainwaves, more like telepathy?

      Words are effectively communication of human brainwaves, so it would probably be considered a language, yes, since it lets two machines effectively talk to each other.

      Do stenography chords count as a language of their own then? SKRET T*EBGS is hardly intelligible as a way of constructing letters normally.
