Summary:
You think the word antidisestablishmentarianism is rather long with 25 letters? Well think again! The Swedes do much better with a word of 130 letters! Did you know that the Vietnamese do not combine their verbs and they have no word for "yes" or "no"? Do you know that most of the world's languages have no verb "to be" and "have"? Did you know that the Navajo Indians have a language so complicated that it has become a secret code during the war? Did you know that the heart of the Japanese do not "thump thump" but "doki doki"? Here is a seriously funny and awfully serious about language book!
