People construct private language in the absence of communication with other human beings. So your boy raised by wolves would still be able to form organized concepts and ideas and refer back to them in an organized fashion without being able to communicate them in a way others understood until he learned a common language. Language is used in communicating with the self all the time even if you think you aren’t using words.
