I agree that language influences way of thinking. In Russian language words (verbs, nouns, etc.) often can freely swap their position in sentence without changing meaning of the sentence (just slightly changing emphasis). Questions usually are made using intonation only. English has very rigid structure when verbs, nouns and other parts must be put in a certain order. This results in clear, sharp and unambiguous way of expressing thoughts typical for english-speakers, that always amazes me (native russian).
