certain aspects are definetly such as prime number theory
2+2=4 is not, what if you only had a system with the numers 1 and 2?
then 4 would not exist and would be represented by 22, asssuming a right to left power system.

2 + 2 = 4 in any language

yes it is .No matter where you go two plus two is always 4 . Math allows you to understand the world around you and offers a many answers to how and why things happen .The scale my change or what represents two may be different but once you agree on a number system then everything works out the same .

math is the basis for art, music and virtually all other applications. Sadly the home of the modern mathematical system including the "zero" as a non value place holder was developed in Baghdad. Which at at one time was the center of learning for the entire world

It seems to be in this modern era, but ancient societies had different number systems...some did not have a representation for "zero," or a way to account for fractional amounts, which made things complicated. There may exist cultures today that don't rely on numbers, per se, to represent quantities but do so in other ways. Overall, I think that we're able to speak the same language in societies where commerce is of primary importance. More "primitive" (hate that word) cultures may use different methods.

Without question. Math is the only universal language we all share. It has been used everywhere.

More or less.
Europeans use commas for decimals, other than that it's about the same on Earth.
Other intelligent life forms may develop slightly different systems, but the basis would be mathematically equivalent. For instance, if they used a different theorem, we would be able to show that their theorem is equivalent to one of ours, or develop one that is consistent with our system.
