Old English Editorial Review
How Dead Languages Work is a compelling exploration of the structural intricacies of various ancient languages, focusing on how they relate to modern English and each other. The book, published by OUP Oxford on April 20, 2020, spans 234 pages and is designed for readers with a keen interest in linguistics rather than as a textbook for learning languages. Many readers recommend starting with Chapter 4 on Old English to grasp the author’s practical approach to pronunciation comparisons, making ancient languages more accessible. The clear writing style and engaging examples have captivated many, enhancing their understanding of topics like the influence of Sanskrit and Old Irish on modern speech.
