That doesn't follow.  It makes little sense to believe that intelligence
emerges from language rather than the other way around.  How is language
required for intelligence, beyond the fact that you may effectively need
an intelligent system to solve the language problem?  And then there is
the problem of defining "language" for this purpose, since it is more of
a gradient than a discrete thing, much like "intelligence".
