There are thousands of languages ​​in the world. Some are spoken by millions of people, others by a handful. Some have disappeared completely, leaving behind mysterious traces, while others have been revived. Whistled languages, invented languages, forbidden languages, sign languages—if we listen to this diversity, we will discover a true treasure.

This book is a journey across the planet, in which languages ​​will take us to the most astonishing places. They will show us how to think about the world, how to communicate, and how to understand each other.
