How does the language spoken in a culture affect the culture? English, for example, has no gender with its nouns -- does this affect English speakers' view of gender? German capitalizes all nouns -- does this contribute to what always seemed to me to be an excess of abstract concept nouns, which somehow seem more impressive when capitalized (e.g. Gestalt, Weltanschauung, Sturm und Drang). Romance languages sound so, well, romantic when spoken -- Dutch sounds to me as if the speaker is clearing their throat of a big chunk of mucous. After all, just compare two versions of "I love you," and say them out loud: je t'aime (French, which I don't speak) vs. Ich liebe dich (German, which I speak a little). One sounds to me like music, the other -- definitely not music.
What about cultures in which many languages are spoken?
