Language and its Effect on Thinking

Language, as the way that we bring thought into the world, is deeply connected to act of thinking. So it wouldn't be too far a leap to say that the language that we utilize to think can have an impact on the way that we think and the way that we express out thoughts. If you speak a language with, shall we say, over three billion words, your thoughts would probably be more complex, though not necessarily better than, someone who speaks a language with only three hundred. The content of the language could also have an effect on your thoughts. Languages that have more than one word for the same thing, such as the Eskimo's thirty seven different words for "snow", probably have more of a tilt towards certain thoughts than others. It is said you've only truly mastered a foreign language when you start to think in it, and I think that statement, considering the huge connection between language and thought, is proof enough as to how the types of language we use effects our thinking.
