Présentation de l'éditeur
Language can be thought of as a great tree which rooted, probably in one certain place long ago, and in the thousands, perhaps mil Hons of years since then has grown and spread its branches and leaves all over the world. To continue the comparison, if the branches rejdie language famihes, and the leaves Jheindividualjlanguages then this bee proba BlyasmOT eth leaves some very largeand growing larger, some ven withering, some sbokeu by more leadniie largest leaves the languages lan a hundred milhon people are l Eng Tish, Russian, and ChineseTJ although Chinese is broken up into so many dialects that perhaps it should not be called one language. Other languages vdth mi Uions of speakers are German, Spanish, French, Japanese, and Bengah (one of the languages of India and Pakistan). The smallest leaves include many of the American Indian languages, some of which may have as speakers only the remnant of a tribe, perhaps as few as seventy-five or one hundred.
