How is your example different from claiming that the statements "Aaron and Elizabeth" and "My friends whose names begin with vowels" are statements in different languages? I also note that with the exception of the symbols for multiply and equality, your final statement is written entirely in (an admittedly stilted and formal dialect of) English. I'm not saying that Mathematics is anything but beautiful and expressive---but the only way to justify a declaration that it's a distinct language is to do irreparable harm to the meaning of the word "language". And, of course, you make my point in your first sentence. I agree that what we call language is more than just notation. Which is one of several reasons (among them concepts related to things like mutual intelligibility, orthography vs. grammar, native speakers, effortless learning during early childhood, communication as an evolutionarily selectable trait, ...) that I disagree that mathematical statements or reasoning are the same species of thing as British Received English, American Sign Language or even Elvish and Klingon.
