There were, just specific to that type of machine. A language is just what you do to compute a function.

Analog computers serve a single purpose, so you don't need much of a language to program them

How would you reliably represent characters in analogue? How would the compiler look?

they weren't computers in the same sense as a Turing machine

Analog computing was really more like the art of making a mathematic model of something using analog electronics

heres an example of how one was used

Characters are just numbers, implementation of the use of those numbers is what you know them as.
