I would agree that language is central to measurable cognition, as well as the second most important tool for learning. Therefore it has a good solid arguement for making a claim to that arguement, but it is not an automatic fact.

Your assumption that changing language will change thinking is not only assuming the first arguement as a fact, but also stating your opinion that the second arguement is true also, as well as the third arguement that you only imply, that is works in both directions.

A mans tools are shaped by his skills, reshaping his tools just makes him make new ones.
