Latest chapter was on Dagbani, a language in Ghana. Dove into how the climate crisis has contributed to the loss of language through forced immigration, and the role of the internet (specifically Wikipedia and AI) in amplifying languages. Super interesting!!!

“Hebrew is unrelenting in its survival, resisting a fate that has dispersed and killed many other languages in a similar position. Some would call it divine intervention. I’d call it the very human drive to create and to destroy.”
When I saw this book has a chapter on Israel’s revitalisation of Hebrew, I was very worried I’d accidentally rec’d a Zionist book to my book club. Happy to report I did not!

Precioso este capítulo de la autora visitando el pueblo de sus abuelos en Italia y encontrando algunas cositas en el mismo dialët que el de su nonna (abuela).
