We are made of language. We, as a species, cannot survive in isolation, thus the capacity to communicate and be understood through songs, art, language, inscriptions, or even gestures is crucial. Each of these languages also has a unique journey. Early humans writing messages on cave walls; three guys on a raft finding a language they weren't looking for; a hidden language that developed to conceal a people; the oldest language in the world that hasn't been decoded, which is 4000 years old. The tales in this book transport you from the northeasternmost point of our nation to the woods of central India, and they are told in both ancient indigenous languages and more recent ones. This non-fiction book is fascinating, interesting, and filled with knowledge.
