Edit:




How can you read sign language if you're blind? Lol.

I'm not saying they lack the ability to learn language but that they haven't learnt it through not having the means to (hearing and sight). Therefore what would there inner monologue consist of?

Interesting second point, what's the alternative to having an inner monologue? Through talking to some people they've told me that they can't stop counting constantly in their mind. I don't experience that at all, I just constantly talk to myself in my head.

EDIT:
I meant deaf people might think in sign language.
