Dictionary of Languages
Author: Andrew Dalby
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 1408102145
Category : Reference
Languages : en
Pages : 754
Book Description
Covering the political, social and historical background of each language, Dictionary of Languages offers a unique insight into human culture and communication. Every language with official status is included, as well as all those that have a written literature and 175 'minor' languages with special historical or anthropological interest. We see how, with the rapidly increasing uniformity of our culture as media's influence spreads, more languages have become extinct or are under threat of extinction. The text is highlighted by maps and charts of scripts, while proverbs, anecdotes and quotations reveal the features that make a language unique.

Dictionary of Portuguese Loanwords in the Languages of Sub-Saharan Africa
Author: Sergio Baldi
Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9004680780
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 371
Book Description
The main purpose of this dictionary is twofold. On the one hand, it provides the scholar of African studies with a tool to identify the possible Portuguese origin of terms present in African languages and, on the other, it offers those who are interested in Portuguese culture an overview of the presence of its lexicon in African languages. No doubt the Portuguese were among the first Europeans to explore the world outside of Europe, and as such they were also the first to introduce that world to European concepts and words.This book is the result of a long and detailed work on texts in African languages, as also shown by the rich bibliography in the dictionary.
