I heard or read recently of a lingustic discovery: a language (perhaps in Central or South America, possibly with ancient roots) in which, instead of looking forward at the future, the speakers look backward at the future. And instead of looking back at the past, they look forward at the past. There was actually an explanation for this that made some sense. Don't remember the explanation and wish to know more about it.
