Question by Eva: Do you think cultures with languages without written scripts are intellectually inferior?
Many languages do not have a written script. They write their language in english. Writing & Reading allows for communication on a whole different level. English, Greek and Japanese all have scripts.

Answer by Wawa
Languages without written scripts usually happened in places where materials to write on don’t exist or degrade quickly. How much paper did Australian aborigines have, or access to plants to make paper? So the peoples in that kind of landscape had to remember everything, and became adept at remembering long lists of ancestors’ names, long cultural stories, etc. They are not intellectually inferior, but live in different circumstances than other nations.
