Ahaa, here it is again.
Who says that my language (or his / her /their) language is alien language? Whose language makes another language an alien language? I think it is something with the feeling of "dominant power".
This is the same as looking at foreigners as aliens in the U.S.
In the forms,documents etc., U.S. government used to state "aliens" for foreigners but in 2003, I guess, they finally realized that the people whom they called as foreigners are also from the same world they live in. So they decided to call them (or name them) as foreigners. Political correction they say.
If they find new creatures on Mars, then they will name them as aliens.
Thus, no one is alien and no one's language is alien language; So what is "completely alien" then? Who is "the" basis, or native, or local?
As long as one language is considered to be alien to another, then the opposite is true also. This makes them equal, does not it?
