Although good code operators don't individually recognize each separate
character, code is still not a language. It is a character based system
that allows communication. The combining and ordering of characters,
whether written letters of the alphabet on paper or tone representation
in code, produce communication in whatever language the operator uses.
The words in this sentence are English language. Someone with knowledge
of German or Tagalo can take the letters and create a sentence in that
language. The same can be done with code. The letters and code are not
and never will be that language or any other language no matter what
speed is achieved.

operators are not reading the each character. They hear the word.
They only resort to character copy on unfamilure words and names. Even
the low speed op will hear many short common words.

That sounds like a language to me.
