Why do we speak internally the same language that we speak externally?

Question

Given we need language, say English, to communicate with one and other.
We communicate in sound and in writing and so the language is linear - it is spoken and interpreted in lines. EG The cat sat on the mat.
Why do we think in English though? Surely English and other spoken languages are high level languages necessary for external communication. I feel there should be some underlying machine code to handle communicating with our inner selves.

Answer 1

You're right - we use English (or other mother tongues) to communicate complex ideas to others and to process complex ideas within our own minds. But for simple tasks there's no verbal thought necessary.

Imagine yourself driving down a multi-lane highway with vehicles of different sizes and travelling at different speeds around you. You don't use verbal communication to signal your intentions to the other vehicles on the road and you don't use verbal thoughts to process what's going on around you.
