Hi polyglots,
With so many interesting books in the subject of languages, I thought perhaps we can have a corner her to share and discuss some of them. I will start with ONE book (and it’s sequel) that I think you might like.
“Toutjour Tingo” and “The Meaning of Tingo” by Adam Jacot de Boinod
“The word Tingo is from Pascuan, from Easter Island, means to ‘borrow’ things from a friends house, one by one till the house is empty” is just an example of many words discussed from many languages. This is a polyglots dream. Very entertaining.
