Description

This fully illustrated book is an introduction to how English, Greek, French, Persian, Russian, Hindi, and many other languages all evolved from the same extinct language spoken 6,000 years ago. We trace one ancient word to its use today in more than twenty English words and seven language families. Written for both children and adults, the book goes down rabbit holes that lead us from Zeus to Father Christmas, dinosaurs to diamonds, and emperors to insects. Exploring the Proto-Indo-European language, we find the shared heritage of languages spoken by nearly half of the world. (Dave Buchen)
