Before the first appearance of the Atlas of the World's Languages in 1993, all the world's languages had never been accurately and completely mapped. The Atlas depicts the location of every known living language, including languages on the point of extinction. This fully revised edition of the Atlas offers: up-to-date research, some from fieldwork in early 2006 a general linguistic history of each section an overview of the genetic relations of the languages in each section statistical and sociolinguistic information a large number of new or completely updated maps further reading and a bibliography for each section a cross-referenced language index of over 6,000 languages. Presenting contributions from international scholars, covering over 6,000 languages and containing over 150 full-colour maps, the Atlas of the World's Languages is the definitive reference resource for every linguistic and reference library.

Atlas of the world's languages
Never mind its age - its final entry is "The World In 1980" - this was always a rather poor offering. The whole concept was misguided, and the minor faults of the larger "Times" Atlas of World History are exaggerated in the smaller edition.
Essentially, the compilers were obsessed with producing complicated maps with gaudy colours, which were then spattered all over the page in profusion and confusion. Providing an insight into history was a long way down their list of priorities. They wanted people to be impressed by the complexity of their maps, which are so complex that it's hard to tell what they are meant to show.
The small number of scrappy paragraphs are written in a shallow, juvenile style and often have little relationship to the maps that accompany them. The reader will learn little from this book except how high an opinion of itself the design team had.
