But if you stop and consider it, language is not only \nextremely important, it’s fascinating, too! Use of language is one of \nthe key things distinguishing humans from other animals, and nearly \n7,000 languages are spoken around the world. Without it, we’d be hard \npressed to communicate, express ourselves, or understand others.\n\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ci\u003eThe Book of Languages\u003c\/i\u003e begins with an introduction to why language\n is important, how it originated and how it changes. From there, the \nbook profiles 21 of the world’s languages. Each spread showcases a \nlanguage’s history, where it’s spoken, what it looks like and how to \nspeak a few phrases and count to ten. Rounded out with sections on \nnon-verbal and animal language, this book will stimulate readers’ \ncuriosity about the world and spark appreciation for language learning.","brand":"Mick Webb","offers":[{"title":"Owlkids Books |  Paperback \/ softback | Trade paperback (US) |  2020-08-15","offer_id":44151109058815,"sku":"9781771474245","price":13.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0329\/9075\/7001\/files\/BNCImageAPI_2b6d16b8-aa24-46b9-ae28-0dd42f452f1f.jpg?v=1700678935","url":"https:\/\/riverbookshop.com\/products\/9781771474245","provider":"River Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
