“The weakness of the Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis… the impossibility of generalizing about entire cultures and then attributing these generalizations to the language spoken …is to leave numerous facts about culture unexplained.”

Peter Farb (1929–1980) American academic and writer

Word Play (1974)
Context: The weakness of the Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis... the impossibility of generalizing about entire cultures and then attributing these generalizations to the language spoken... is to leave numerous facts about culture unexplained. The great religions of the world... have flourished among diverse peoples who speak languages with sharply different grammars.... Cultures as diverse as the Aztec Empire of Mexico and the Ute hunting bands of the Great Basin spoke very closely related tongues.
