Languages of the World


Language plays an important part of our heritage, and is the foundation of cultures across the globe. But what drives language endangerment, and the extinction of minority languages? Our history and diversity is challenged by emerging technologies, dialogues and ethnographies.

The new 'Languages of the World' collection aims to investigate the shift in language development, from journals in language, linguistics, education and history. Free through Oct 31.
