Can language really be said to describe independant reality though? Its probably worth waiting for the ginger one who keeps harping on about the emo austrian, but wasn't the point of philosphical investigations to reject language atomism? My reality is my own regardless of how i try to describe it to you, we may try to communicate through a language based on an pure logic that we percieve to be independantly external (ie maths) but im actually skeptical that it is (i admit i haven't thought this bit through yet)

Nod are there any specific works on philosophy of maths that Wittgenstein or anyone else did that you'd recommend?
