If you say that there is nothing without language, then you needlessly exempt language from explanation. There is a causal story to be told about the development of language, part of which is that we evolved from creatures without it. Perhaps there is no understanding without language, but there is existence without understanding. Ultimately, our species' peculiar use of sounds and markings is merely a fact among others, not a condition of the world's existence.

Language: one doesn't need to know X to know y.

You write, "we look at how scientists behave, we see that they all (either tacitly or explicitly) act on the assumption that there is some objective reality." I'm not haggling about "object reality" nor I am trying to advance an anti-realist position. I would only suggest that "things" is a word, and a very abstract one at that. To speak is to deal in abstractions. Too many people think of language as an occasional tool, not part of who we are.
