A language will become extinct every two weeks of this century; and with every extinction the prospect of a few 'national' languages dominating the world's vocal and written exchanges becomes closer. Some have argued that this simply does not matter: but in this cogent, passionate and powerfully argued book, Andrew Dalby shows us why this is wrong - not just for humankind but for the future of language itself.
Andrew Dalby is Honorary Librarian at the Institute of Linguists and author of DICTIONARY OF LANGUAGES (Bloomsbury 1998). He also writes on food. He lives in France.
