In our culture we have an infinite amount of number. Actually math is kind of a global language.

But in some tribes like the Australian Aboriginal they have a different way to count of counting. The Australian Aboriginal tribe has only three numbers: one, two and many.

To me, this thing shows how culture creates a language. Some cultures don't need to count more than two or even one. This is very restrictive in our perspective, but probability probably useful in many ways.

Another example for of culture creating a language is with the Eskimos who have a variety of words to describe different shades of the color white.
