So would it be accurate to say while keeping within the structure of language that nonduality is not a replication however, what is, is?
Two added thoughts to gage my understanding:
1) Can nonduality be compared to anything and, if not...... why duality?
2) If nonduality could speak would its first words be, "what the hell is this?"
That last one was my feeble attempt at irony.

Thank you.
Yes, what is, IS...but without any mental attempts to try and quantify it as being 'something' even the "Is-ness" or Śūnyatā (not-self) that it 'is'.
It's an experiential phenomenon, in which any relationship between 'self' and 'other than self' vanishes...so I can thus elaborate on your added points.
1) Duality exists within the whole comparison itself and not to anything being 'compared' and
2) If nonduality could speak, it's first word is/would be A-U-M. Aum is the only sound/language that exists as being self-replicating, yet without any repetition, per se.
Thus, the irony is appreciated.
