Universal Languages

I've been collecting universal languages, since obviously music can't be the only thing that rides the scope of the human experience. These are a few things I'm pretty sure are sharable between all humans everywhere in spite of language/background barriers. If you know of others - or spot one that ISN'T actually a universal (please site sources!) - contact me!
