<< all human languages have the same underlying pattern structure,
Chomsky would like to have a word. Your statement is true only at a surface leve l( they have nouns, verbs and some limits), but it breaks down the moment you start to inspect it closely:
- sign language ( I am not being petty; you put all languages ) - it is almost nothing like the underlying structure of other spoken languages primarily because it does not carry its restrictions
- English vs Polish example - word can carry grammar or not; word order can carry meaning or not
Those are just two examples, but both clearly show that little about human languages is actually the same. It is kinda like the history thing. It rhymes.
I am addressing this part as other posters noted issues with other parts.
