I'm impressed by your vast experience with different languages!
I'm also curious to learn why one language contrasted with another language have no necessary relationship to how speakers of each language think.
The authors post seem to prove the opposite:
>An Australian Aboriginal tribe, The Guugu Yimithirr, famously have no words for left, right, in front of or behind. They use north, east, west, and south instead. And as a result: they develop an internal compass—always knowing which way is north, even if you blindfold them and spin them around.
I for sure don't know the direction after being spun blindfolded :)
