Firstly I don't think that's actually true in any meaningful sense. I mean, yes, literally we could have a completely trivial society without something resembling money, but at even the most rudimentary levels of social organization that actually exist among humans, something resembling money exists. Certainly at the very least, the excahnge of value is occurring between people in anything that could reasonably be called "society". Secondly, even if we accept that speech is "more primitive", i'm not sure why that implies anything about how they ought to be regulated.
