The Atlas of Languages: Words Around the World
Rachel Lancashire, illustrated by Jenny Zemanek
An illustrated exploration of languages around the world examines their history, variety, and connections. Maps, sidebars, language-family trees, infographics, and short facts show how languages have developed, been spoken, whistled, or signed. The book considers questions such as where the word “banana” came from, what a secret language might be, and which word is understood universally. It offers a global view of words and communication.
