I think morse code is not another language, it is a different way of creating the letters of our language. Much like shorthand and (I presume) brail.
Would fully binary communication even count as a language, or would it be more like direct communication of computer brainwaves, more like telepathy?
Words are effectively communication of human brainwaves, so it would probably be considered a language, yes, since it lets two machines effectively talk to each other.
Do stenography chords count as a language of their own then?
SKRET T*EBGSis hardly intelligible as a way of constructing letters normally.
