«La planète des langues» is a popular linguistics book by Marina Yaguello, published by Seuil in paperback (44 pages, in French).
A journey through the diversity of the world's languages: it explains why we don't all speak the same language, how languages emerged, what Indo-European languages are, and where French comes from. It recalls that ancient legends saw this diversity as a punishment, but today it is understood as a treasure to discover and share.
It belongs to the Petit Point des Connaissances collection, with illustrations by Nestor Salas. The work was originally published in 1993; this edition is from 1997.
Aimed at young people curious about languages: a visual and engaging presentation that serves as an introduction to linguistic diversity.
