Nine hundred languages, nine hundred years -- John Wilkins and the language of truth -- Ludwik Zambof and the language of peace -- Charles Bliss and the language of symbols -- James Cooke Brown and the language of logic -- The Klingons, the Conlangers, and the art of language.
Okrent tells the fascinating and highly entertaining history of man's enduring quest to build a better language. Peopled with charming eccentrics and exasperating megalomaniacs, the land of invented languages is a place where you can recite the Lord's Prayer in John Wilkins's Philosophical Language, say your wedding vows in Loglan, and read "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" in Lojban--not to mention Babm, Blissymbolics, and the nearly nine hundred other invented languages featured in this language-lover's book.
