75. Lorna Gibb: Rare Tongues
Get lost in translation on this enthralling tour around the rarest languages in the world with writer and linguist Lorna Gibb.
Discover the history of rare languages, the cultures they belong to and the tales they tell, from Australia to Finland, India to the Canary Isles, and Namibia to the United States. With language and culture becoming increasingly homogenous, Gibb explains how we are losing different viewpoints and ways of living and makes a case for the preservation of the rich linguistic diversity of our world.
