Of course it is. It is a true ideographic writing system, used as the
primary language by thousands of non-speaking people. It is a
language; it has its own grammar. And it is written: it uses a large
set of base characters and a small set of grammatical combining marks
to form words and sentences. It has dictionaries. Its speakers write
poetry in it (with visual puns sometimes, as in some Chinese poetry).
