Kirkus Reviews09/02/2025, 01:26 PM"Though only a fraction of what the author estimates as up to 8,500 of the languages spoken, whistled, or signed on our planet earn mentions, this work richly rewards even casual browsing—whether readers are more intrigued by its glimpses of the big language picture or just want to know the Icelandic term for mansplaining...Witty and wide-ranging."
