Your opinion, not that of those who can converse in it.
my opinion yes but also a fact Morse code is no more a language than
Crillic is

it is simply an alphabet

you can exchange a limited amount of info using the stand codes but you
can say "do you walk or run by the sea" in morse to any one that does
not speak or read english first

you are simply spreading ignorance al

no such requirement exists indeed if you can read then the question and
answers are suposed to read to you and your aswers taken down

Languageless?
yes indeed although it easier if you do understand english not required

not suree if you can take the test in spanish (or other ;lang)right
off but if not now soon I expect it will be possible
You MUST demonstrate proficiency in at least ONE
language to get a license, even today.

nope no such requirement exists not for techs not generals and not
extras either

indeed you point out the way you can get a license without demtating
skill with english if you simply memroize all the questions and answers
their remains no requirement that you understand the content, that task
is easier if you know english but not a requirement

where is this requirement for lang skill in part 97?

A code test is demonstrating
proficiency in two languages - not a major step.

expect you are never required to demostrate profiicentcy in any
language at all
and if you were 2 languages would twice one and Code is NOT a langauage
just an alphabet

Indeeded the ignorance of Hams that spread such tales have been one of
the tools the No Code movement has been using against you
