But what makes these languages stand out amid the worlds estimated 6,500 tongues?<br />Gaston Dorren delves deep into the linguistic oddities and extraordinary stories of these diverse lingua francas, tracing their origins and their sometimes bloody rise to greatness. He deciphers their bewildering array of scripts, presents the gems and gaps in their vocabularies and charts their coinages and loans. He even explains how their grammars order their speakers worldview.<br />Combining linguistics and cultural history, <em>Babel</em> takes us on an intriguing tour of the world, addressing such questions as how tiny Portugal spawned a major world language and Holland didnt, why Japanese women talk differently from men, what it means for Russian to be related to English, and how non-alphabetic scripts, such as those of India and China, do the same job as our 26 letters. Not to mention the conundrums of why Vietnamese has four forms for I, or how Tamil pronouns keep humans and deities apart.<br /><em>Babel</em> will change the way you look at the world and how we all speak.</p>...1930102Babel185205https://www.gandhi.com.mx/babel-14/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/1305166/e23b815d-fcd6-4ecb-9c8d-dfc6419ebbba.jpg?v=638337831174470000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20189781782832508_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_<p>If you were to master the twenty languages discussed in <em>Babel</em>, you could talk with three quarters of the worlds population.
