Does the language of revelation as delivered by Revelators in TUB affect how we perceive them?
Well, yes. If we understand the language they deliver it with, then we can perceive what is being said. Isn't that obvious? If it is delivered in a language I don't speak or know, then I won't be able to understand. Again, pretty obvious.

There is an area of study in linguistics that looks into language and how it shapes our perception of reality, and in this case the reality of the revelations. And this is why I am a firm believer that relying solely on a literal interpretation of TUB handicaps the mind to the multitudinous layers of revelation.

linkI don't think there is any question that language shapes our perceptions of reality - if we don't have a word for something, our minds cannot grasp or retain that concept. Memory works the same way; until we have a critical mass of vocabulary, we cannot retain memories; that is why we rarely remember things from when we were pre-verbal.
The revelators do say that they are handicapped by their inability to express some of the revelations in our language; they find it difficult to convey some concepts that they know in whatever language they speak on Jerusem or wherever, so yes; I'd say the answer to the question you post is definitely yes. But the revelators have the ability to overcome, for the most part, any serious inability to expain to us what they want us to know in our own language, so no worries.
