There are two primary branches within this theory:

The impact of linguistic relativity and the Sapir-Worf hypothesis is vast, even if only the weak theory is supported.  It has been demonstrated that language can affect how we, as humans, process and understand the world around us, an example being how the Kuuk Thaayoree people in Australia describe directions. These practices suggest a great diversity and uniqueness in the way people think based on their native language, which could challenge the universal infrastructure of human cognition.  

We must consider how these differences in processing and comprehension affect different groups of people.  How should the findings of linguistic relativity influence policy design for multinational corporations, like the United Nations?  There must be no discrimination based on any group's native language.

The weak version, generally accepted by modern linguistics, claims that language influences thought and cognitive decisions. So, restrictions or limits may impact a person's thoughts or judgments, but they do not determine them.

Cognitive scientist Lera Borodistky further supports this concept in her TED talk, explaining how language can shape the way we think. 

During her research, she studied an Aboriginal community in Australia, the Kuuk Thaayoree people. They do not use words like 'left' and 'right' to indicate directions in their language. Instead, cardinal directions: north, south, east and west, are used in descriptions. So, for example, to describe the presence of an ant on your left leg, they would say, "There's an ant on your southwest leg." This allows them to stay oriented very well compared to other population groups whose language does not require regular directions.

Additionally, they have a different way of thinking about time. For English speakers, events in a timeline are usually placed from left to right (increasing with years). In contrast, for the Kuuk Thaayoree people, time is 'locked' on the landscape from east to west. Therefore, when asked to organize specific images according to time, they would change the order based on how their body was facing.
