This second edition of The Routledge Concise Compendium of the
World's Languages has been completely revised to provide up-to-date
and accurate descriptions of a wide cross-section of
natural-language systems. All cultural and historical notes as well
as statistical data for each language have been checked, updated
and in many cases expanded. Now offering an even broader range of
languages including a greater number of the lesser-known ones, such
as Cree, Maltese and Haitian Creole, this new edition of The
Routledge Concise Compendium covers a total of 111 languages. Key
features include: * complete rewriting and systematization of the
phonology sections for all languages * provision of IPA symbol
grids arranged by articulatory feature and by alphabetic
resemblance to facilitate use of the new phonology sections *
expansion of morphology descriptions for all languages * provision
of new illustrative text samples * addition of a glossary of
technical terms * comparative tables of the numerals 1-10 in all
languages covered, and also grouped by family * classification by
genetic relationship of all languages covered. Using the wealth of
recent developments and research in language typology and broadened
availability of descriptive data, this new incarnation of The
Routledge Concise Compendium brings a much-loved survey
emphatically into the twenty-first century for a new generation of
readers. The Routledge Concise Compendium of the World's Languages
remains the ideal compact reference for all interested linguistics
and professionals alike. Gary King is Series Advisor for the
Roultedge Colloquials and the author of numerous books on language
and linguistics. He is also UCAS co-ordinator and a lecturer at a
large sixth-form college. George L. Campbell worked for the BBC
World Service and was a polyglot linguist and translator.
