Here is the captivating story of humankind’s enduring quest to build a betterlanguage-and overcome the curse of Babel. Just about everyone has heard ofEsperanto, which was nothing less than one man’s attempt to bring about worldpeace by means of linguistic solidarity. And every Star Trek fan knows aboutKlingon. But few people have heard of Babm, Blissymbolics, Loglan (not to beconfused with Lojban), and the nearly nine hundred other invented languagesthat represent the hard work, high hopes, and full-blown delusions of so manymisguided souls over the centuries. With intelligence and humor, Arika Okrenthas written a truly original and enlightening book for all word freaks, grammargeeks, and plain old language lovers.
The text of the book was translated from the original language using an artificial intelligence program. For the most part, the translation of the text is of very high quality, but in some cases, due to the imperfection of the technology, there may be incorrect phrase translations in the text, as well as single words and expressions may not be translated.
