This book is an introduction to the languages of the world and linguistics. The overview of language families, their distribution, their spread, and - in some cases - their extinction is presented with a wide variety of maps, photographs, and tables.
At the same time, the evolution of more than 200 languages is analyzed with specific examples, as well as various writing systems, which, as ancient works of art, monuments, and manuscripts testify, have been in use for the last 5,000 years.
