Could this be a good definition for the word "mathematics"?
The basic language of human endeavor.

@Carl J Mesaros,
The word "human" is certainly relevant but I'm not sure about "endeavor".
I suggest "mathematics is a set of metalanguages used to express and facilitate some human cognitive processes".
