About the book

Nicholas Ostler's Empires of the Word explores world history through the rise and decline of major languages. The book examines how languages such as Latin, Greek, Arabic, Sanskrit and Chinese spread through conquest, religion, trade and administration. It presents language as a powerful force that both reflects and shapes the fortunes of civilisations.
