None of them know more than one language and each of them were brought up in a very different tongue, and made each of them not speak in their language nor write, what do you think they would come up with to communicate given a year?

If I took four people I'd be charged for kidnapping.

Assume you weren't caught at least until after a year.

Can they learn sign language?

They would quickly begin developing their own unique language. It would happen rather quickly in weeks and months and not necessarily years.

And how exactly will you prevent them from incorporating some of the words from their own language into this new language? First kidnapping and then what torture?

And how will you brainwash someone if you cannot even talk to them in a common language? Are we moving off to the subjects of telepathy or mind control or perhaps hypnosis?

Maybe a better scenario is:

What if an alien suddenly lands on our planet. How would you communicate with them without starting War of the Worlds?

By offering them unopened bottles of clean, pure water. Then opening one of my own and drinking from it.

Then I'd hand them printed textbooks on astronomy, biology, calculus, and physics. Opening the astronomy book, I'd point to an illustration of our Solar system and name each planet (assuming that the didn't understand English, of course).
