Language is sometimes confused for thinking. That's a category error. Language is a tool to express, organize, store, and recall thoughts. It works for most types of thought, but not all. And there are other ways to express thoughts -- gestures, facial expressions, drawings, etc.
A key property of systems for expressing thoughts (especially language) is that, by encoding our transient thoughts into something else that can be observed and reasoned about, they make thinking reflective, recursive. They make it possible to think about our thoughts.

Yes, language is an operating system for thinking. You can think more with language than without, not all languages are equal, and you can think even more in written language.
Thoughts are grounded in experience, not language. If you know 2+ languages, you can grab some everyday thought like "I feel cold", and pronounce/think it in each language. At least in my head, the sound is different, but it maps to the same perception, for these simple cases.
It's amusing to see that this is the specular opposite of what Chomsky conjectured: language is inefficient for communication but it might be efficient for thought. (I myself don't follow closely this debate, so pardon the coarseness).

I prefer this answer to the one FC gave to @drgurner , which started: "Yes, "
