Language is more than just a medium for communication, it also imposes a structure on our reality, since language. This is a view held by many, but at the same time, there also exist arguments against it, stating that perhaps the structure already exists at some level below language in our minds. Language might simply give us the means to articulating these structures, it is not necessary that in the process of articulating it, the structures themselves are affected.
In English, Berlin and Kay classified the spectrum of colour into 11 basic colour terms. If we consider the mapping between “laal” in Hindi and words in English that talk about the “same colours”
laal - red, crimson, vermillion, scarlett
Red, crimson, etc. however are slightly different colours. We still call them the same in Hindi most of the time. Does this mean that Hindi-speakers perceive less colours than English-speakers? This is not true.
