That's the way the Reverse Dictionary works. If you enter just one word you will usually have no luck whatever, as it will return only a few words with similar spelling. If you enter more than one word you will get hundreds or thousands of responses, probably 99.7 per cent inapplicable

Found it! "mentalese". A very uncommon word as I thought http://www.thefreedictionary.com/mentaleseI tried playing with the definition of language...then it hit me, "language of thought"! I googled it and wiki brought it straight up.

It's more of an hypothetical term and the definitions I offered probably weren't good enough to deduce it, but thanks for replying

In case you're interested, Wiki redirects "mentalese" to an article called Language of Thought.

men·tal·ese(mntl-z, -ls) n. A hypothetical language in which concepts and propositions are represented in the mind without words
You were right about the m! I've always fantasized about how cool it would be if we could transmit an image from our own mind into somebody else's--what a lot of confusion could be eliminated! Query, though: can a "language without words" really be a language?
