I have read Oasphe, a tome of a book published in the 1880s, which also deals with languages and symbols extensively. It claims that it will become clear to us in our time how all the languages of the world are related to each other. I do not have the book handy at the moment, but will later. There are a couple of simple and usfull insights there on symbols and language.
