Are they inflected or analytic?. May they have tones? Will human beings be able to learn them?.
How do you think extraterrestrial languages are?
I guess you need to look at the currently known extraterrestrial languages, like Klingon.
Languages are only used by intermediate life forms such as human beings. Higher life forms such as some extraterrestrial beings and future humans no longer communicate in languages. They use telesthesia (telaesthesia) to communicate with one another.
I wonder if it is easier for an extraterrestrial to learn a romance language or a germanic one? I tend to think that aliens speak a sort of spanish.
I think we should talk about code and way instead of language and sounds.
Doesn't it all depend on what extraterrestrials look like ? Their language can't be the same at all if they look like giant bees or like big clouds, for example.

Impossible d'imaginer une langue sans ces catégories.

Ce n'est pas parce qu'un cerveau humain est incapable d'imaginer un concept que celui-ci est forcément inexistant.
PARISIEN, there are conlangs where the inventers tried to avoid some of that categories, check http://www.conlanger.com/ or http://www.spinnoff.com/zbb/
