I remember reading about a deaf colony in (IIRC) Guatemala that was initially populated by deaf adults who had learned sign language as adults or older children. The original residents had children, and the children developed the sign language into a more complex “full” language with more developed grammar and syntax. Children’s ability to learn language goes beyond their higher neuroplasticity.

there’s a possibility it does, but considering the part of the brain that deals with language, is also the brain, i’m not sure how ultimately relevant it is.
Although, language disorders would likely align with your statement that language abilities aren’t just high neuroplasticity, regardless the capacity to learn it is going to be a highly plastic experience.
