The history of language

[Ellen]

What is your favorite book you have read (preferably through to the end) on the history of the world's languages?

[Irena]

My favorite book on the history of language in general is John McWhorter's Story of Human Language -- the course he did for The Teaching Company (now they are called The Great Courses). Goodreads: The Story of Human Language http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/33...
