The interesting (to me) part of all this is cognitive impacts. To what extent does thinking in numbers impact how you think about stuff.
There are northeastern Australian languages without words for relative directions (behind you, left, right). They use absolute/cardinal directions instead. Reportedly, this fosters an unbelievable sense of direction and an instinctive internal compass.
I wonder if what other basics we could add to language and what that would give us.
