    Just take a look at:

    http://www.loglan.org/what-is-loglan.html

    An excerpt of the above :

    ...
    There is a linguistic theory--known as the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis--that the structure of a human language sets limits on the thinking of those who speak it; hence a language could even place constraints on the development of the cultures that use it.
    ...

    Is this true ?
