Shaftesbury & Gillingham

Languages of Planet Earth

Would you agree that language is one of our greatest attributes? If so, would you like to know more about the multifarious languages families of Planet Earth – from our own Indo-European group to Australasian, from African click languages to those of the Native Americans, from Chinese to Arabic? Have you ever wondered why the Polynesians have so few consonants? Did they sell them all to Poland? Then why not join me in watching the dvds by the ironic, amusing and very knowledgeable Professor John McWhorter? This involves no learning of the actual languages (you are probably quite glad to know that)– you can just sit back, laugh and listen, and make as many comments (based on your own experiences maybe?) as you like
