Review of 'From Elvish to Klingon: Exploring Invented Languages' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

A fascinating and also quite scholarly review of invented and revived languages. Very readable and with plenty of references for anyone who wanted to go further into any of the languages.

I particularly appreciated the critique by Orwell of the debasement of political language - still topical - and the pitfalls of reviving a language.

Recommended to anyone with an interest in languages.
