Some living languages in amazonian tribes don't have a word for left or right. Their directions are downriver, upriver, towards river, and away from river.

The language we speak and the concepts we are taught literally form into structures in our brain, and we can't understand what it would be like not to have them, because those structures are part of the organ of understanding
