My argument for this is mostly that we don't use language for all forms of reasoning, and are likely doing so on some internal representations or embeddings. Animals also demonstrate abilities to reason with situations without actually having a language. I see language more as a protocol for inter-agent communication (including human-human communication) but it contains a lot of inefficiencies and historical baggage and is not necessarily the optimal representation of ideas within a brain.
