Linguistics Book: Overview of Languages from Antiquity to Present

[QUOTE="SteamKing, post: 5473377, member: 301881"] This is a pretty vague and wide-ranging request. What constitutes a 'general' language, as opposed to just a language? You do realize that not all languages have a written form (even many spoken at the present), and that documentation of many languages of antiquity, even if they have a written form, is often fragmentary at best. Some languages have resisted decipherment of the available written material, such as Linear A and Cretan hieroglyphics: [URL]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_A[/URL] If a language has not been reduced to writing and all of its speakers have died off, then no one will be able to re-construct its structure. Heck, the very existence of the language may never even be known. And why would you think a place called [B]Physics Forum[/B] would be appropriate to post about linguistics textbooks? [/QUOTE]
