#TBRtemptation post 3! This sounds awesome! How'd the word "does" come about, & why did it disappear? Which is the loudest language? What's the worst dictionary? What's the most difficult word to translate? Which school has the most renowned linguistics faculty? Who created the most successful language? Why did Johannes Becanus consider Dutch to be the oldest language? Which country is the most language-diverse? Etc. #blameLitsy #blameMrBook ?
