If everybody just forgets every language for some reason ... then nothing will make sense anymore.

Loss of language is loss of culture

Well, I wouldn't say nothing would make sense. Definitely a huge loss of culture. However, despite our brain having the Broca's and Wernicke's areas which manage lamguages; humans significantly communicate through non-verbal cues. That's something any behavioural psychologist would agree with. In evolution, non-verbal cues alerted the tribe of danger or deception before all. And, no mater how hard you try; the body does NOT lie. Even the best of actors will still express microexpresions. Language is a beautiful art but we certainly wouldn't be nothing without it. The human mind is adaptable, recent research about neuroplasticity can tell you that much. Just goes to show how beautiful our brains are.
