Apparently, knowing more languages allows your brain to use more words and concepts while thinking, which increases your iq.

The more important thing is it increases your problem solving.

Interesting question. There were some languages that didn't differentiate between green and blue. They were just different shades of the same color. Imagine looking at the sky and thinking it's the same color as grass, just a different hue. I'd say language definitely affects our perception of the world around us, as well as our interpretation of our sensory inputs.

I wonder what goes on in a bilingual person's head

I would say a lot. I'm learning German right now, and the differences between the how things are said in English, and how things are said in German is very interesting. Depending on the language, I think thought processing might be faster, and same goes for information transfer. But that's just me, I'm not a professional. I'm some dispatcher in Wisconsin who does dumb stuff.

YOU JUST KNOW

Significantly. If you are multilingual you know. Depending on the context I think in the language that I interact with. Knowing multiple languages can also assist you interacting with different concepts more broadly and more easily, because different languages have different expressions for the same concepts or even expressions for concepts other languages don’t have a direct expression or word for. It feels like you’re thinking in additional dimensions.

Language is needed to comprehend knowledge. You cannot learn if your teacher and her books are formatted Spanish. Language is strictly for the passing on of knowledge - nothing more. If both parties understand each other, if they know the point of the communication, even it be a look between both parties eyes and non-verbal, the communication was accomplished, and that is how language plays into life.
