How does geography impact culture?

Physical geography can affect the number of languages spoken in a given area. A prime example of this is the island of New Guinea. It is said that this island is home to people who speak over 800 different languages. The main reason for this is that New Guinea is very mountainous and it is hard for people from one area of the island to come into contact with people from other areas. This means that each group keeps mostly to itself and can develop and keep its own language.
