Language can alter how your brain processes sensory input, essentially how you perceive reality to a degree. This has been demonstrated in isolated African societies that can easily distinguish shades of green which are essentially identical to most other other people. Yet at the same time, they cannot see various shades of blue or teal, to them they look like the same shade of green. There is some evidence that written language had a major impact on how humans think and utilize memory. Many tribes from across the globe used mnemonics to remember intricate details of hundreds of species for survival, and there's no evidence it was a genetic talent for memory, just a function of our brains most people aren't trained to use after the advent of writing.
