>Writing is only a way to represent language
Wrong! Writing is a way to express meaning. This phonetic script you're reading right now? It has only the meaning of the sounds it produces in your brain. Now look at the name field of this post. That is a tortoise, or a turtle. It a tortoise or a turtle no matter what language you speak. The meaning is encoded in the very visual structure of the character. There is a head, a body, forelegs and hindlegs, a shell and a tail. This is the eternal tortoise represented in pictographic form, and you can call it whatever you want without changing the fundamental meaning of the character.
