What happens when you say “real conversation” in Tzotzil? How to distinguish a number from a letter in Braille? Why did the dying language dirbal upend linguists’ notions of the possible? Why does Tok Pisin have 11 personal pronouns? Why is Erema wearing paws and Tom wearing boots? How do Mbalo speakers navigate in space without using either right-left or north-south? These and other facts about 36 languages of the world you will learn from this book, and discover them yourself, solving problems that do not require any special linguistic knowledge.
