Of the senses we're familiar with or aware of, anyway, e.g. taste/smell/hearing/vision/touch.

Somewhat related to that, certain Australian aboriginal languages don't have words for relative directions like left/right and use cardinal directions (north/south/east/west) so they tend to keep track of their orientation subconsciously.

So if you were to help one of them, for example, move a couch, they might tell you to move your end a bit to the west and avoid any "my left or your left?/No your other left" shenanigans.

Probably also a very helpful thing to be aware of if you find yourself trying to navigate the outback.
