The relationship between human thought and language

Hello my Steemians Friends.

I read from a period of an article on how linguistic differences affect human mental abilities. the five-year-old Australian native who grew up speaking in his native language could simply identify the north, While adults who speak English have difficulty identifying the North, this skill in determining trends is due to the influence of language, The Kuuk Thaayorre language used by native Australian tribes has no directions (left and right) trends, with only fixed directions (North, South, East and West), This makes the speakers of this language more able to identify trends more precisely, because they are always forced to use steady trends since their childhood.

Not only that, the way things are arranged is influenced by the language as well, For example, an Arab will arrange a series of drawings from right to left, while the English citizen will arrange them from left to right, while a native Australian will always arrange them from east to west !!

The effect is not limited to trends, but extends to the nature of the information we can remember. In languages ​​such as Spanish and Japanese, which do not care about mentioning the actor in the case of unintentional accidental accidents, the speaker is less able to remember or notice the actor than the languages ​​in which the actor is often mentioned. !

As well as the nature of the language affects the ability of Mathematics has been found that the modern Chinese language have an average of better ability than others because of the nature of Chinese in the installation of the names of numbers are less complex in other languages, there are a large number of mental characteristics that affect the language directly. Perhaps this is one of the reasons that we can explain the intellectual genius of one of the peoples. In Germany, for example, there are a very large number of scientists in various fields, who appeared especially in the beginning of this century, of course this does not deny the existence of other factors.

Another observation.

the people who speak more than one language and are very fluent with it, and there is often a change in their tendencies and ways of thinking as they change the language used

German philosopher Wilhelm von Humboldt says that "the diversity of languages ​​does not only indicate a diversity of vocal symbols, but indicates diversity in the way we look at the world."
