Pure conceptual thinking, only meaning and idea with no language attached.

But maybe some pictures.

I asked a deaf friend once, he said he would get back to me on that.

The same language you think in before you learned to talk.

What do blind people dream of?

Or what does a deaf, blind person dream of?
What if he can't feel anything?

Through association. Point at an object then point at a word. Other than that, some deaf people went deaf after they learned how to read.

Done some research, apparently, they touch other people's heads, and through vibrations try to comprehend the sounds.

You think in the language most appropriate to you.
I for one think in Dutch, but sometimes also in English depending on what I'm thinking about (you can't speak a language if you can't think in it).
Deaf people (let's keep it simple; the ones that have never heard before) think in more of a visual form, either gesture language or text.

This has always surprised me. Then again there will always be idiots who say we're the only animals that can think. But we've all seen the video were some crow does complicated shit.

They think in english. Unless of course they live in Spain, where they would think in Spanish. Get my drift? Whatever language they read in.

I want to know how you explain a colour to a blind person, or how they teach a deaf and blind person braille, or even get them to the place they learn it without dragging them there.

Then you would be just as good as a dead person. Infact a dead baby, because you wouldn't be able to learn anything. You would just be stuck there thinking subconciously not even knowing where you are or even if you are being fed or not. Then 80 or so years later you will die, not even knowing really what life is.
