That reminds me of some research I read a few years ago about savings habits for people speaking a language that has a time concept (passed, present, future) and languages that don't (chinese for example). There was a pretty explicit separation on people having no time concepts saving more and putting more importance in the future, or something like that. It was pretty interesting to read how the way your language works shapes how your brain thinks and influences your habits. edit: https://www.ted.com/talks/keith_chen_could_your_language_affect_your_ability_to_save_money?language=en https://www.ted.com/talks/keith_chen_could_your_language_aff... :)
