All cultural and historical notes as well as statistical data for each language have been checked, updated and in many cases expanded. Now offering an even broader range of languages including a greater number of the lesser-known ones, such as Cree, Maltese and Haitian Creole, this new edition of "The Routledge Concise Compendium" covers a total of 111 languages. Key features include: *complete rewriting and systematization of the phonology sections for all languages *provision of IPA symbol grids arranged by articulatory feature and by alphabetic resemblance to facilitate use of the new phonology sections *expansion of morphology descriptions for all languages *provision of new illustrative text samples *addition of a glossary of technical terms *comparative tables of the numerals 1-10 in all languages covered, and also grouped by family *classification by genetic relationship of all languages covered. Using the wealth of recent developments and research in language typology and broadened availability of descriptive data, this new incarnation of "The Routledge Concise Compendium" brings a much-loved survey emphatically into the twenty-first century for a new generation of readers. "The Routledge Concise Compendium of the World's Languages" remains the ideal compact reference for all interested linguistics and professionals alike.
