I think their planning of their cities is a great achievement. They made a great city layout, and had an advanced, for its time, drainage system. They must have had some ingenious engineers to put together these settlements. No other civilization layed out their houses in such an organized manner. I don't really think any other civilization matched them on this level of planning.

Little is known about the actual language, as it has not yet been deciphered. However, there have been attempts to understand. For example, the counting system is largely understood. They used strokes and circles for certain amounts (1's and 10's) They also wrote right to left, and used pictures along with words. Unfortunately, there hasn't been anything like a Rosetta Stone to help understand the Indus Script.

Some people used to think the first civilizations were in Mesopotamia. Now, they know this is not the case because of the Indus Valley Civilizations. Turns out people had been living in ancient India at the same, or perhaps even predating the Mesopotamians. They had short square houses made out of baked brick, and layed them out in such a fashion to allow straight roads or walkways. Each home even had its own plumbing, which drained into a nearby river.  If you thought the Mesopotamian civilizations were advanced, well, you wouldn't be wrong. But there was an entire civilization in India doing revolutionary things that was living in the same time or perhaps even before the Fertile Crescent people.
