In this book, famous Russian linguists M. Krongauz, A. Piperski, A. Somin and others talk about 100 of the most interesting and unusual languages in the world. Some of them are the property of millions; others are spoken by only a few dozen people; and there are those whose speakers have disappeared altogether. But be that as it may, each of the languages described in this book represents, in addition to curious linguistic features, a unique way of perceiving and understanding the world. This is fascinating reading not only for those whose interests lie in the field of linguistics, but also for anyone interested in the ethnic and cultural diversity of the peoples inhabiting our planet. The book also contains illustrations, maps and diagrams that complement the story about the unique languages of the world.
