Yes, if you only learn the basics of the language, you will learn only the basics of the language user’s values (if any).
But the deep understanding of the language requires knowing the semantics of the words and constructions in it (including the meaning of the words “human” and “values”, btw). To understand texts you have to understand in which context their are used, etc.
Also, pretty much each human-written text carries some information about the human values. Because people only talk about the things that they see as at least somewhat important/valuable to them.
And a lot of texts are related to values much more directly. For example, each text about human relations is directly related to conflicts or alignment of particular people values.
So, if you learn the language from reading text (like LLMs do) you will pick a lot about people values on the way (like LLMs did).
