Human beings have the ability to converse in several languages, in different ways and contexts. Language forms a central aspect of an individual’s experiences and, at a higher level, shapes the way individuals think. In addition, languages often differ phonologically and semantically. However, this view of language has been challenged, for example, based on the perceptions of the shades of colours. The purpose of the paper is to present a case for how languages are different from each other and how those differences change the way we see things around us. Most societies speaking various languages tend to have different words for certain concepts. This is important, as it shows that one does not need to explain the meaning of the words they want to convey. The main conclusion is that from the perception of time, space and even simple grammatical elements, such as, nouns, languages affect one’s thought processes.
