I think this is a flawed question because so many people have not yet evolved enough to think or speak...myself included!😜

Second one. Language conveys thought. Unanswerable answered. Next show at midnight. Tip your waitress.

What of we didn't have a word for the color blue? How would we think of that color in our minds?

By the physical look of it.

We don't need to. Babies can see blue and have no 'word' for it. A number of animals can see blue and have no word for it. We don't need to speak to think. If you wanted to then convey your thoughts is where language comes in. Are you just talking about thinking of objects or including problem solving?

Yes we have language because we think, we originated with sounds that were not an actual language we thought of what sound best represented what we wanted to say and created a language many many years later, voice and language are very different.

Thought for the forum... What if everyones blue is different? What if their blue is orange to you but they think it's blue because that's what they have always been taught? So think how can we communicate what blue really is? We can't because our description is limited by our own understanding, and that understanding can not be transferred to some one else out of nowhere. You could try by saying oh its the color of cold or something similar, but our system of communication is very limited in its scope because of its direct relation with individual experiences.

The point remains the same, they don't have a word for black or white either.
