Default Thinking : With or Without a language?


I recently noticed, when I think something, I whether think it in Bangla or else I think it in English. For example, suppose I am going somewhere and I am thinking, "deri hoye jacche!". or suppose I am standing in front of a DVD shop and I am thinking, "WoW! what a collection!". When I noticed this involvement of language, I tried to think something without any language, and I could not!

So, if we do need a language to think, dont babies think before they learn the language? or did the people back in stone ages never think anything because they were not using language to communicate with each other back then! thats not likely!

So what do you think? can you think without a language??? if not then how do you explain the baby and people of ancient age scenerio?
