Språk: engelska. --- The first edition of A geolinguistic handbook was described as a milestone in the advance of geolinguisticse, which concerns the geographical distribution of languages and their political, geographical and cultural status. The handbook deals with countries, peoples, and languages throughout the world. Its primary aim is to tell the readers what languages are spoken in every country. The secondary aim is to give additional information on some 350 languages which we have judged to be of special interest from the practical point of view. Pidgins, creoles, and international languages are also treated, and a number of common mistakes about languages are listed. Includes maps and specimens of scripts.
