That article prompted me to reread "Remembrance of Times East" [1]. That describes an Australian aboriginal tribe which only has absolute position terms, no relative ones. So they say for instance "the cup on the north-east side of the table", rather than left or right. This even affects their concept of time, whose flow from past to future is described in terms of an absolute geographical orientation frame.
