Some researchers hypothesize that one possible reason some Asian cultures show proficiency in math at an early age ironically has nothing to do with math – it has to do with language.

How many other languages, besides English and Chinese, can the author count in? What he describes is not so earth shattering, plenty of other languages are uniform and generative wrt to counting words.
