A Journey Through the 6,000 Languages of Earth
By Glenn Dixon
Glenn Dixon has been attacked by wild dogs in the mountains of Spain. He’s heard jaguars roar in the jungles of Guatemala. And once, in the calm blue waters above a coral reef off Belize, a shark veered dangerously toward him. Humans, of course, are even more dangerous. We tend to section off our lands with borders and guns and barbed wire. But these are only surface markers. In reality we claim our territory with a much more powerful and ancient tool. We mark our place in the world, and even ourselves, with language.
