IDK. By definition, a language is not limited in the scope of what can be discussed using the language by the language itself.
There are less robust forms of verbal communication, such as pidgin speak, which can convey limited information, on a limited number of subjects.
By its nature of being a language, it means that anything that any user of the language can have in his noggin, can be expressed in the language. New words come and old words go. Language evolves.
The phrase, "words can't describe..." is an oft-used poetic phrase which belies the poet to be a numbskull who is bad at their trade. The fact is that words CAN describe, you're just maybe bad at words.
My point: you can't blame the language for the ideas not being appropriately expressed.
