If dolphin mathematicians don't publish, they will perish.

Oh, come, now. The oral tradition has been a fixture of many cultures. Even in this century we run across "primative" tribes which have no written language, yet they may have a rich literature and understand what mathematics they need.

And I didn't limit language to words. Music is a language. So is my dog wagging her tail.
