Five-Star Review from Readers' Favorite "Kukisvoomchor has curated a fantastic work of non-fiction for enthusiasts of world history, language, culture, and linguistics everywhere, and this book would make a superb primer for anyone looking to explore lesser-known elements from extinct peoples and extremely remote nations. I for one was thrilled to see inclusions such as Breton, which is close to my native heritage as a Welsh person, and so many different wonderful dialects from Africa in their full glory, which I knew very little about until they were all on display here. The work also benefits from a wonderful indexing system at the back to help you find families of language or track them down by name, and the overall organization and layout of the work make it an ideal reference to start your linguistic journey. I'd highly recommend The Twelve Months of the Year in 850 Languages and Dialects to students, scholars, and everyone in between with a love for words and the world we live in."
