A great book to read in this context:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Dont-Sleep-There-are-Snakes/dp/18466...

or indeed, any context. It's a fabulous book about the good and bad in societies untouched by civilization, and about one man's attempts to understand a language with no reference points. And his struggle with his Christian mission, ending up in his atheism. It's got everything, and would make a great film.
