Language is a completely learned ability. The evolution of language took thousands of years. This person would think similarly to an animal. Take a look at some cases of feral children.

How do we know the child would be a he?  :smirk:

Assuming the child is "normally developed" it probably wouldn't think at all, language is what enables one and all to think. There are other forms of wisdom and knowing, but thought is only possible through concepts exchanged, acquired and manipulated in linguistic beds of knowing.

The question is: would this child be human?

Whatever it felt like.

Probably no emotional patterns as it would have not learned most of the ones we are familiar with and have no environment in which to enable, react and enact them.
