okay, if your born deaf and have never heard anything before.... how do you think? like what language in your head do you think in? and you'll probably say someone will teach them sign language but what happens if no body teachs them anything... how would they think?????

Great question! I would think that you'd think in the language that you learn to read in, since you are not blind and can see, but it would be in a visual way, not in an auditory way. You probably wouldn't "hear" yourself think, like people born with hearing do.
That's just my theory of course, I really have no idea. It would be interesting to get the opinion of a deaf-born person on the subject.

she doesn't mean that they can't think at all or something- she means like...when you think, you think of whatever in terms of sounds (words) that have meaning relating to whatever you're thinking about. Like if a hearing person and a deaf person are looking at a tree. a hearing person would think in their head, in terms of auditory words "there's a tree". She's wondering how a deaf person would relate in thought to the tree, since they've never heard words (if they're deaf from birth). i'm not deaf, so i have no idea, but my guess would be in visual pictures or visually picturing written words in their heads

They just think. They don't need to know a language. People aren't born with language in their heads anyway. They can have thoughts, they don't need words.
