Summary: A superbly presented contribution to linquistic studies.
Comment: Facts About The World's Languages by Greenwood Publishing Group Senior Editor Jane Garry and grammarian, morphologist, and linguistics expert Carl Rubino is an immense, comprehensive, scholarly reference tome, offering a capsule summary of hard linguistic data about a vast array of living and a few dead languages. From Afrikaans and eight dialects of Chinese to Ancient Egyptian, Polynesian languages and Zulu, a globe-spanning array of human tongues are presented with hard data concerning their origin and history, orthography and basic phonology, basic morphology, basic syntax, history of contact with other languages, examples of words and sentences, and a brief accounting of efforts to preserve and protect the language. A fascinating, first-rate reference for anyone involved in linguistic studies, or who needs to quickly look up information about dozens of the most famous or widely known languages in the modern world, Facts About The World's Languages is an invaluable and strongly recommended, core title addition to any professional, academic, and community library Language Studies reference collection.
