Babel : Around the World in Twenty Languages
English is the world language, except that most of the world doesn't speak it'only one in five people does. Dorren calculates that to speak fluently with half of the world's 7.4 billion people in their mother tongues, you would need to know no fewer than twenty languages. He sets out to explore these top twenty world languages, which range from the familiar (French, Spanish) to the surprising (Malay, Javanese, Bengali). BabelAmong many other things, BabelBabel will change the way you look at and listen to the world and how it speaks.
