There are more than six thousand languages used around the world
today, although linguists now estimate that by the year 2050 as
many as half of those will be extinct. This beautifully designed,
engagingly written reference takes us on a panoramic tour of the
globe to explore this unique and endangered human gift.Generously
illustrated throughout with color photographs, informative
sidebars, and clear maps and graphics, "One Thousand Languages"
illuminates the sources, characteristics, and interrelationships of
the world's spoken tongues. It looks in detail at the eleven global
languages, then delves into the major languages of each world
region in turn. Each entry gives a history of the growth and
development of the language, details the number of speakers, and
traces its geographical spread. The volume also provides
information on many extinct languages. A detailed map section
tracks the migrations of the major languages, and the book also
tells how to count to ten in more than 250 ways. It is brought to
you by Copub: Ivy Press Limited.
