(4) 4-6 Twenty-one languages, including Swahili, Mandarin, and Quechua, are given spreads containing a map indicating where the language is spoken; a short history; an alphabet and pronunciation guide; and examples of greetings, numbers, and a brief dialogue. An absence of syllable stresses in the examples makes pronunciation useless, but back matter on nonverbal, sign language, code, and animal communication adds interest. Glos., ind.
