No, it is not a language. Spoken English is. Trust me. 10 years ago, I would have thought the same as u but after studying linguistics and language acquisition, I learned why it is not a language.
It falls in the same category as Morse code. It is a system of making English visual and could be good as a tool in the academic setting.
