I, too, am not a Wittgenstein scholar--I did study him a bit in a couple of undergraduate philosphy courses.

Wittgenstein did discuss language in excruciating detail, showing how our knowledge is couched in terms of language and is almost impossible to separate from those linguistic terms--meaning that it is very hard to share knowledge or come to a common understanding because language is such a fluid medium.

Thus, for Wittgenstein (as I remember) a lot of the difficulty of discovering truth is the fact that all human knowledge is housed is a very imprecise structure called language--and how can we ever expect to pin down truth if we have such an imperfect tool with which to work?

His central point is that language evolved as a simple ostension mechanism. He was partially arguing against the Positivists who in 1930 tried to see whether philosophy could be a science. Wittgenstein is thought by many to have ended philosopy as a field. This does not mean that you should not ask yourself and others, "how should I live my life" - but answers to that question will nowadays be derived from so many other fields that it is difficult to still regard it as a philosophical question.

Philosophy. in case you do not have a note for a particular feeling, emotion, idea on your language, then you could not journey that emotion, feeling, idea. British philosophers contained in the early 60s were given slowed down in linguistics as as a results of the this. J-P Sartre, a French existentialist, couldn't detect a passable French note for the German 'Angst'. Angst is a lot more beneficial than the English 'stress' or the French 'anxiété'. it really is deep seated, it comes from interior. we are constrained in our idea of the international and the persons through the obstacles of our language and technique of verbal substitute .

I'm no philosophy scholar but he was a philosopher who stated that alot of confusion in life and philosophy has occured through misinterpretation of language and spent a fair amount of time defining the meaning of words.
Anybody out there can feel free to correct me.

Luddie was a pretty bright fellow.... However, there are numerous forms of universal "Language" which do not involve speech.
