Reality is the sum totality of all* human senses be it language , perception ,audition,olafaction ,congnition or vision.
Langauge mediates the human thaught patterns - it can so be the medium in which human thaughts experience the state of flux - reception or generation.
Reality is transcedental - We can experience it with our eyes or mouth and expound on it by language - yet the sum totality remians unchanged that is regardless of how much you talk or not talk of it , it hangs there in stasis. UV rays are reality and yet remian limited to us in the prameters of our visual experience but in the array of all and absolute universal wavelengths they remain marshalled firmly as ever.
In particular instance of two people - the human abilities of word selection and consequent verbal expression can greatly add or detract to their* experience of that* particular reality that has been the point of talk - but the main bulk of whatever the reality which you imagine remains by itself wholly unlimited and open to further experience and intellectual query.

Reality is only limited by ...nothing. You can feel limits within Reality.
Language places structure on perceptions of reality. You perceptions may be limited by your language. There have been many studies of this done.

If anything, language is limited by reality, not the other way around.
No matter who you are or what language you speak, reality is all that it is, regardless of language. You can have reality without language, but you cannot have language without reality.
Language in simple terms is a means of communication. Communication can take place on many levels, local communication is only one of them.

What is real? Reality is merely our brain's interpretation of electrical impulses generated by our 5 senses. To our brain, reality is what our body tells it that it is. So is this real? Is a dream real? Are you sitting at a computer and typing a question on a keyboard or is that only the interpretation that your brain makes? Who is to say that you are not asleep right now and electrical impulses are being generated within and interpreted by your brain as reality?

yes, language does not cover reality and reality hasn't been all expressed, nature of life and progress if we may call it that makes it impossible for language in any given time and space to define reality as a whole or all realities in any given time and space

it is described by language to others,which could limit its definition, but in our imaginations it is boundless

No of course not. Many things exist independantly of our ability to describe them. We didn't have a word for Gravity until relatively recently, but we didn't float until then.

Maybe not limited by, but defined by.

It's expanded, but not grasped, by language.

No, but your cognitive perception of it may be! Specially if you are one that thinks using words or their definitions!
With a grain of salt, please!
